Abstract:
Modern communication networks uses optical fibre extensively. The transport networks are upgrading its capacity continuously to provide the bandwidth requirement of
the customer requirements. To provide such an increase in bandwidth, the transmission networks are moving from Amplitude Shift Keying modulation methods to Phase Shift
Keying methods. In phase shift keying systems, data reception and regeneration required phase synchronization. This requires original optical carrier phase information. In this
paper, we report a model for optical carrier recovery for optical synchronization of a Binary Phase Shift Keying input by exploiting Four Wave Mixing in Highly Non-Linear Fibers.
The noise influence from the signal laser for the recovered carrier was analyzed.
