    摘要: A method of transmitting digital information over a dispersive optical channel (106) comprises encoding (152) the digital information into a series of data blocks, wherein each block comprises a plurality of substantially orthogonal frequency domain subcarriers, each data block is then divided (154) into at least two frequency bands, each band comprising a plurality of contiguous subcarriers. A frequency/time transformation is then performed (156), in order to form a corresponding plurality of transformed bands, each transformed band comprising a sequence of time domain data samples. A time delay is applied (158) to at least one of the transformed bands relative to at least one other of the transformed bands. The bands are then combined (160) to produce an electrical signal waveform embodying the digital information. Finally, an optical source is modulated (162) using the electrical signal waveform, to produce a corresponding optical signal for transmission over the dispersive optical channel (106). The invention enables a reduction in the duration of guard intervals that may need to be inserted into the transmitted data blocks, in order to avoid received signal degradation due to inter-symbol interference caused by dispersion in the optical channel (106). Transmission overheads may thereby be reduced, resulting in an improvement in transmission efficiency.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for receiving digital information transmitted via an optical signal over an optical channel wherein the optical signal includes an optical carrier (402) and at least one information-bearing optical sideband (404) in the optical frequency domain. The transmitted optical power is distributed between the optical carrier (402) and the optical side band (404). The received optical signal is processed in order to increase the received power in the optical carrier (402) relative to the power in the optical side-band (404). The processed optical signal is detected in order to produce a corresponding electrical signal. The electrical signal is then processed in order to recover the digital information. Advantageously, increasing the optical carrier power relative to the power in the information-bearing sideband results in improved quality of the detected electrical signal, enabling an improved power budget to be achieved, which in turn allows for longer transmission distances, increased transmitted information rates, and/or improved transmission error performance as compared with conventional direct detection optical transmission systems.

    摘要: A method of generating an information-bearing optical signal (614) from input digital information (602) includes generating (604, 606) an information-bearing electrical signal comprising an in-phase (I) component and a quadrature (Q) component. Each of the components has a predetermined baseband bandwidth requirement (B). The I and Q signal components are combined (610) with corresponding I and Q components of a radio frequency (RF) carrier (608). The carrier has a central frequency greater than the signal bandwidth requirement (B). An optical source is modulated (612) with the combined I and Q signal and carrier components, in order to produce a modulated optical signal (614) which comprises an optical carrier corresponding with the RF carrier, and substantially only a single information-bearing optical sideband in an optical frequency domain, corresponding with the information-bearing electrical signals. Transmitters implementing the method are also disclosed.
