Frequently Asked Questions - Optical modulation
Optical modulation is the method of encoding data into optical carrier waves through variations in amplitude, phase, or frequency of the wave.
The different types of optical modulation are amplitude modulation, phase modulation, frequency modulation, quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), differential phase shift keying (DPSK), and quadrature-phase shift keying (QPSK). QAM and QPSK can be used to encode multiple bits per symbol.
Optical fiber can transmit data faster over optical fiber compared to electrical cables, and optical modulation improves spectral efficiency by encoding multiple bits per symbol. QAM signals use amplitude and phase modulation to encode multiple bits of information into one symbol.
High-speed communications use a variety of modulation schemes to increase the data rate while keeping low signal degradation and high noise immunity, which is especially effective over long ranges compared to electrical cables. Coherent optical communications often use QAM, which allows for high-speed transmission between servers in a data center or between data centers.
The most common impairments in optical communications are chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, nonlinear effects, attenuation, and signal-to-noise ratio degradation.
Testing coherent optical communication systems and transceivers can involve many instruments depending on the testing. Calibrating test signals requires arbitrary waveform generators (AWG) and high-bandwidth real-time oscilloscopes running vector signal analysis software (VSA). For transceiver testing, optical modulation analyzers (OMA), optical power meters, tunable laser sources, and bit error rate testers (BERT) may be used depending on the test cases or issues being analyzed. The AWG, OMA, and BERT all need to support the data rates and modulation levels of the transceiver under test.
