The transmitter is configured for a fiber optics multicarrier modulation transmission system, e.g., for an optical OFDM system. The transmitter is further configured to generate an optical multicarrier modulation signal comprising a plurality of different subcarriers, at least some of which being modulated. Each subcarrier in a first group of the subcarriers has a first polarization and each subcarrier in a second group of the subcarriers has a second polarization different from the first polarization.

A method of recovering data from an optical signal (OS) in an alternating polarization (APOL) modulation format suffering from signal distortion, e.g. Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) or the like, the optical signal forming a bit stream of odd and even bits (OB, EB) having a given bit rate. The method comprises splitting (6) the optical signal and/or an electrical signal (ESC, ESD) derived from the optical signal into at least two split signals (SS1, SS2). In order to mitigate distortion effects of the optical signal, the proposed method further comprises independently and adaptively controlling (10, 12) respective distortion compensating means (9, 11) provided for the at least two split signals for recovering the odd bits and the even bits, respectively.

The invention relates to a DQPSK receiver for optical communication. The receiver comprises a first delay line interferometer (1a), DLI, for generating a demodulated optical inphase signal component. The receiver further comprises a second DLI (1b) for generating a demodulated optical quadrature phase signal component.

In addition, the receiver comprises first weightedly combining means (5a) for weightedly combining a signal (Xi) downstream of the first O/E converter (3a) and a signal (Xq) downstream of the second O/E converter (3b), thereby generating a compensated inphase signal component (Yi). Analogously, the receiver comprises second weightedly combining means (5b) for weightedly combining a signal (Xq) downstream of the second O/E converter (3b) and a signal (Xi) downstream of the first O/E converter (3 a), thereby generating a compensated quadrature phase signal component (Yq). The weighting in the first (5a) and second (5b) weightedly combining means is selected to compensate unwanted phase offset in the first delay line interferometer and/or second delay line interferometer.
摘要:
The pipeline analog-to-digital converter has a number of subsequent comparator stages (2) where the thresholds of the comparator stages are adjusted in accordance with the digital conversion results from previous stages (18, 28, 38) so as to implement a non-linear conversion scale. In particular, the pipeline analog-to-digital converter consists of a number of comparator stages (2), which operate in accordance with a common clock signal. The comparator stages are connected in series in such a way that a residue signal from a previous stage is used as input signal of a subsequent stage for comparison during the next clock period of the clock signal. At least some of said comparator stages have, according to the invention, a threshold generator (25, 35, 45) for adjusting the threshold value of the respective comparator (22, 32, 42) in accordance with comparison results of previous comparator stages (18, 28, 38).
