Abstract:
A received POLMUX signal is rotated by fixed rotation parameters (Rot0, Rot1, Rot2) and the rotated POLMUX signal with optimal signal performance is selected and phase information is derived from both polarities. A pre-filter improves the timing accuracy.
Abstract:
A method decodes an optical signal transmitted over an optical channel from a transmitter to a receiver. The receiver receives the transmitted optical signal to produce a digital signal including data symbols and pilot symbols, and determines filtering coefficients based on an error between amplitudes of the received pilot symbols and amplitudes of transmitted pilot symbols, while ignoring errors between phases of the received pilot symbols and phases of the transmitted pilot symbols. The amplitudes and the phases of the transmitted pilot symbols are known at the transmitter and the receiver. The receiver filters the digital signal according to the filtering coefficients to produce a filtered signal with equalized amplitude and an unconstrained phase demodulates and decodes the filtered signal to produce an estimate of the transmitted optical signal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method and system for fine estimation of a local oscillator frequency offset of a received signal at a coherent receiver, by evaluating the probability mass function (PMF) of the signal phase of output symbols at different frequencies. At frequencies other than the actual frequency offset, the signal phase is uniformly distributed in [−π,π] such that the summation of a function of PMF values where the function is convex or concave between 0 and 1 can be utilized to determine an a frequency offset to be used by the coherent receiver.

Abstract:
A receiver is configured to have two coherent receivers using two pieces of local oscillator of optical frequencies f11 and f12 close to optical frequency f1 of signal light, the two pieces of local oscillator being controlled to have a predetermined optical frequency spacing ΔF, and a digital signal processor demodulating transmission data signal sequences based on outputs from the coherent receivers. When the frequency difference Δf1 of one of the two pieces of local oscillator from a virtual reference frequency f1' close to the optical frequency f1 of the signal light is set, the digital signal processor obtains the frequency difference Δf2 of the other of the two pieces of local oscillator by calculating Δf1 - ΔF, inputs electric signals output from the two coherent receivers, and compensates the phase rotation caused in the electric signals by frequency differences Δf1 and Δf2.
Abstract:
A post-equalization technique for recovering data bits from a coherent modulation optical signal is implemented in the digital domain by iteratively performing a decision-directed least mean square channel equalization step, a digital post filter step and a maximum likelihood sequence estimation step so that the symbol decisions of the previous iteration are fed to the decision directed least mean square channel equalization step to successively improve the symbol decisions. In an experimental setup, the iterative technique demonstrated performance improvement mitigating the bandwidth limitation as compared to a corresponding non-iterative technique.
