A Dispersion Management Scheme for Reducing SOA Induced Crosstalk in WDM Links
Theoretical study on channel crosstalk due to gain saturation in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) was presented.A significantly higher penalty was paid at more channels because of the gain saturation characteristic of SOAs.Crosstalk mitigation techniques in SOAs were studied.Reduction of crosstalk in SOA by amplifying dispersed WDM signals was confirmed experimentally.Based on the results of the experiment,a novel dispersion management scheme was proposed to prevent the interchannel crosstalk caused by cross-gain modulation.
