Optical wavelet de-noising applied in multi-span nonlinear fiber links

Abstract: In this work, optical wavelet de-noising with several different types of wavelets such as db4, coif4 and dmey wavelet was applied at the end of the 40Gbit/s multi-span intensity-modulated fiber communication systems. The results of numerical simulations carried out in different fiber links demonstrated that the optical wavelet de-noising method could remove the random amplitude fluctuation induced by the interaction of EDFA’s ASE noise and optical fiber’s dispersion and nonlinearity. The SNR and BER curves of the optical bit sequence without and with optical wavelet de-noising in dispersion compensation fiber link were plotted to show the effectiveness of the wavelet de-noising in the fiber-optic communication systems and wavelet de-noising with demy wavelet can achieve better result than with other type wavelet.
