11 Shannon Limit

• Shannon’s Second Theorem – The Noisy Channel yCoding Theorem

– C.E.Shannon, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication”, Bell Syst. Tech. J., 27, pp379-423 & pp623-656

– “Reliable communication over a discrete memory-less channel is possible if the communication rate R satisfies R < C, where C is the channel capacity. At rates higher than the capacity, reliable communication is impossible.”communication is impossible.

• Signal processing to mitigate SPM• Dispersion management to reduce signal –ASE interaction

All other channels act as noise so rces to a elength of interest• All other channels act as noise sources to wavelength of interest• Appropriate Dispersion Map

– High local dispersion to degrade phase matching– Dispersion management to control PAPDispersion management to control PAP– Sufficient residual dispersion per span– Dispersion map is key

69Conclusions:

Reaching the limits of communication capacity

• What do we need to do (system design)?– Dispersion management– FEC

O th l i

• What do we need to make (components)?– Integrated arrays– High speed DSP, ASICs

N li idth l– Orthogonal carriers– Coherent detection– QAM– Non-linear compensation

– Narrow linewidth lasers– Linear modulators and drivers

• And to extend the limit…– Amplifier for waveband extension 10,000
