Electrical Dispersion Compensation (EDC) Liz Wu Linus Chuang For EE233 Spring 2006
EDC technology Biggest Challenge for 10G -- dispersion management 2.48G Long distance Long distance 10G ISI (Intersymbol interference) EDC -- compensates for optical dispersion in the electrical domain by algorithmic methods
EDC addresses three type of Dispersion Chromatic dispersion polarization dispersion T = DL λ d 1 2πC D = ( ) = β 2 2 dλ V λ g Modal dispersion P. Kirkpatrick et al. Intel Technology Journal 8, 83 (2004)
Brief Review of Dispersion
Existing Solutions of Dispersion Type Chromatic dispersion Modal dispersion Polarization dispersion Solution Dispersion compensate fiber Dispersive filter Fiber Bragg grating Graded fibers PMD compensator Drawbacks Needs to be engineered for each link -- varies with wavelength EDC -- deal with the dispersion at the receiver end -- address three different dispersion by different algorithm Cost-effective & Easy

EDC equalization algorithms 1. CTF continuous-time filters -simplest, lowest power consumption -compensate for chromatic dispersion 2.FFE feedforward-equalizer DFE decision-feedback-equalizer -compensate for ISI that exceed one UI -most common EDC implementation 3. MLSE maximum-likelihood-sequence-estimator -best performance -but complicated and large power consumption
Dynamic EDC- self-adaptable algorism Fiber degrades over time and introduce new source of interference EDC refine compensation algorisms to adapt to these changes Close loop feedback mechanism to modify filters and gains
