摘要:
An apparatus and method for performing joint equalization and timing recovery in coherent optical systems. The method includes equalizing signals to generate compensated polarization signals, wherein timing error in a distorted optical signal is calculated based on one of the compensated polarization signals. The method further includes performing resampling polarization signals to correct timing offset in an optical signal based on the calculated timing error. The calculated timing error may also be used to adaptively control one or more operating parameters of an external device.

Carrier phase estimation techniques are provided for processing a received optical signal having a carrier modulated according to a modulation scheme. First and second carrier phase estimation operations are performed on a digital signal derived from an optical carrier obtained from the received optical signal using coherent optical reception. The first carrier phase estimation operation tracks relatively fast phase variations of the optical carrier of the received optical signal to produce a first carrier phase estimation and the second carrier phase estimation operation tracks relatively slow phase variations of the optical carrier of the received optical signal to produce a second carrier phase estimation. A difference between the first and second carrier phase estimations is computed. Occurrence of a cycle slip is determined when the difference is greater than a threshold. A correction is applied to the first carrier phase estimation when the low pass filtered difference exceeds the threshold.

摘要:
Proposed is a method of receiving a phase-modulated polarization division multiplexed (PDM) optical signal. A first digital signal and a second digital signal are derived from the optical signal, representing respective complex values of respective, orthogonal polarization states. Polarization division demultiplexing is performed, using a set of FIR filters of K filter coefficients. Within a first time interval, the sets of filter coefficients are updated for different discrete time instances, using a first algorithm to achieve PDM demultiplexing with regard to a first phase-modulation method. Within a second time interval, the sets of filter coefficients are kept fixed. Within a third time interval, the sets of filter coefficients are updated for different discrete time instances, using a second algorithm which achieves PDM demultiplexing with regard to a second phase-modulation method different from the first phase-modulation method.
