摘要:
The present invention relates to signal processing in an optical receiver, in particular to equalization performed in coherent optical receivers. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer receives and equalizes a plurality of real value signals, for example four sampled electrical baseband tributaries (HI, HQ, VI, VQ). The outputs of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer provide equalized real or imaginary components of complex signals. The complex signals including the real and imaginary components are then each and individually equalized to remove chromatic dispersion.

The present invention relates to performing chromatic dispersion estimation in a receiver of an optical communication system. Here, the signal received by the receiver includes frames, each comprising a training portion and a data portion. The training portion comprises a plurality of identical pattern sequences. Different settings are applied to an equalizer to generate a plurality of equalized signals from at least one of the received frames. Then, at least one correlation value is calculated between a first pattern sequence and a second pattern sequence of the equalized signals and a final correlation value is derived from the respective correlation values. The setting of the equalizer corresponding to the equalized signal providing the highest final correlation value is selected to provide the chromatic dispersion estimation.

The invention describes a method and an arrangement for transmitting an optical transmission signal with reduced polarization-dependent loss. A first transmission signal component and a second orthogonal transmission signal component of the optical transmission signal are transmitted with a time difference between said transmission signal components.

Component signal values (XI, XQ; YI, YQ) are derived from component signals (xi, xq, yi, yq) and fed to least one fixed equaliser (EQU) which generates equalizer output signals (X IE , X QE , Y IE , Y QE ) . These signals are fed to phase error detectors (PD3, PD4) generating phase error signals (X PE3 Y PE4 ). These phase error signals (X PEi ) are combined with further phase error signals (X PE1 , Y PE2 ) derived by further error detectors (PD1, PD2) receiving signal values from further equalizers and/or the component signal values (XI, XO ; YI, YQ) directly from sample units (15, 16).

Disclosed herein is a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder-modulator (DPMZM) device comprising a DPMZM 10 having first and second inner MZMs arranged parallel to each other. The first inner MZM generates an in-phase component E I of an optical signal in response to a first driving voltage V I , and the second inner MZM generates a quadrature component E Q of said optical signal in response to a second driving voltage V Q . Further disclosed is a calculation unit 52 configured for receiving an in-phase component y I and a quadrature component y Q of a desired base-band signal, and for calculating pre-distorted first and second driving voltages V I , V Q . The calculation of the pre-distorted first and second driving voltages V I , V Q is based on a model of said DPMZM 10 accounting for I-Q cross-talk, and using an algorithm that determines said first and second driving voltages V I , V Q each as a function of both of said in-phase and quadrature components y I , y Q of said base-band signal.
