Abstract

An all-optical aggregation and de-aggregation scheme between one 8-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (8QAM) signal and three binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals is proposed and theory simulated based on nonlinear effects in high nonlinear fiber (HNLF). In this scheme, the input 8QAM signal is de-aggregated into three BPSK signals by deploying self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), four wave mixing (FWM) and parameter amplification (PA) effect. Firstly, an improved amplitude compression loop (ACL) is designed based on SPM effect to convert 8QAM signal into quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signal. A degenerate phase sensitive amplifier (PSA) based on FWM effect is used to decompose QPSK signal into the first two BPSK signals (BPSK-1 and BPSK-2). The third BPSK signal (BPSK-3) can be extracted from the probe light modulated in its phase by the input 8QAM signal thanks to XPM and PA effect. Secondly, BPSK-3 is converted into an atypical on-off keying (OOK) signal through a 1-bit delay interference (DI). BPSK-1 and BPSK-2 are recombined into one QPSK signal through a coupler. Finally, the recombined QPSK signal and the atypical OOK signal are aggregated into one 8QAM signal by using XPM and PA effect. The error vector magnitude (EVM) and bit error ratio (BER) of the 8QAM and BPSK signal before and after de-aggregation and aggregation are calculated to analyse the performance of the scheme. The scheme can be applied in the network node to connect different networks which explore to use 8QAM and BPSK signal respectively.
