    摘要: A method of transmitting information over a non-linear optical channel includes the step (152) of generating an information-bearing signal, preferably an OFDM signal, which includes a plurality of closely-spaced sub-carriers in the frequency domain. A time-varying phase modulation is determined (154), which is a first function, and preferably a linear function, of the transmitted optical power corresponding with the information-bearing signal. The information-bearing signal and the time-varying phase modulation are applied (156) to an optical source in order to generate a corresponding transmitted optical signal having substantially the stated transmitted optical power characteristic. The first function of transmitted optical power is selected so as to mitigate the effect of the non-linearity of the optical channel upon the transmitted optical signal. In alternative arrangements, a time-varying phase modulation, being a second function of optical power, is computed (162) and applied (164) to a signal received following transmission through a non-linear optical channel. The two alternative arrangements provide, respectively, for pre-compensation and post- compensation of non-linear propagation effects that may be carried out entirely within the electrical domain, for example using digital signal processing techniques.

    摘要: An optical signal (116) is modulated with a transmitted electrical signal comprising an information-bearing component (122) and a pilot tone (120) having a predetermined frequency. Transmission of the signal results in distortion, including nonlinear optical transmission impairments. A method of receiving the signal includes detecting the optical signal to produce a received electrical signal (X) comprising a distorted variant of the transmitted electrical signal. The pilot tone is extracted from the received electrical signal using a filtering operation (308) having a predetermined characteristic, and a compensation signal determined based upon the extracted pilot tone. The compensation signal is applied to the received electrical signal (X) to produce a compensated signal (Y) having reduced distortion. The predetermined characteristic of the filtering operation (308) is represented by one or more parameters having values selected so as to substantially maximize a measure of quality of the compensated signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for receiving an optical signal having an optical carrier component and at least one information-bearing optical sideband. In general, an optical filter arrangement (110) is used to separate the optical carrier component from the information-bearing optical sideband. First and second optical splitters (126, 128) divide the optical power in the optical carrier and the optical sideband, respectively, into corresponding sub-components. The sub-components of the optical carrier have substantially orthogonal polarisation states, which is an optional characteristic of the sideband sub-components. First and second optical coupling devices (142, 144) respectively each combine one of the optical carrier sub-components with a corresponding one of the optical sideband sub-components. Optical detectors (158, 160) detect the outputs of the combiners (142, 144). The arrangement is able to achieve a number of the benefits of coherent optical heterodyne receivers, particularly when used in combination with advanced coding and modulation methods, while avoiding the need, and associated complexity, of providing an optical oscillator at the receiver.

    摘要: An equalizer (200) for equalization of a signal transmitted via an optical fiber link from a transmitter to a corresponding receiver employs a backpropagation model (300) which comprises one or more sequential segments collectively representing an inverse fiber link. Each sequential segment comprises a linear backpropagation element (304), and a non-linear backpropagation element (306) having an associated compensation bandwidth (312). The equalizer (200) generates a distortion-mitigated signal by computing, for each sequential segment in turn, a first linear compensated signal from a signal input to the segment in accordance with the linear backpropagation element (304), and a non-linear compensated signal from the first linear compensated signal in accordance with the non-linear backpropagation element (306). Computation of the non-linear compensation signal comprises limiting a bandwidth of a compensation signal derived from the first linear compensated signal in accordance with the associated compensation bandwidth (312).
