The aggregation and de-aggregation between one QPSK and two BPSK signals are experimentally demonstrated using cross-phase modulation (XPM) effects and phase-sensitive amplification (PSA). The nonlinear-optical loop mirror (NOLM) allows for the extraction of the two BPSK signals without information redundancy, while maintaining the same wavelength as the input signal. Furthermore, the aggregation from two BPSK signals to one QPSK signal is also achieved. These schemes contribute to flexible optical networks and can be applied in gateway nodes between optical sub-networks.
The aggregation and de-aggregation between one QPSK and two BPSK signals are experimentally demonstrated based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) effects and phase-sensitive amplification (PSA), aiming to improve flexible spectral efficiency in the elastic optical network. Benefiting from the nonlinear-optical loop mirror (NOLM), the two BPSK signals can be extracted without any information redundancy for the de-aggregation scheme. The wavelength of the extracted signals stay the same as the input signal in the NOLM. Moreover, the aggregation from two BPSK signals to one QPSK signal is also successfully achieved. The feasibility of the two schemes can be confirmed by the transfer functions and the input-output constellation. The bit-error-rate (BER) and error vector magnitude(EVM) performance of the two schemes are also investigated and the corresponding OSNRs for error-free signal recovery are obtained respectively. The proposed schemes contribute to the realization of flexible optical networks and can be applied in the future gateway node between optical sub-networks.
