摘要： Methods and devices for IQ time skew and conjugation compensation and calibration of a coherent transmitter or transceiver are described. A pilot tone is combined with a digital data signal such that relative powers of the pilot tone in each of two frequency bands of the transmitted data signal may be detected by a pilot tone detector and used to calculate the time skew between I and Q modulation channels of the transmitter. A transmitter DSP applies IQ time skew bias to the data signal to compensate for any calculated IQ time skew. The pilot tone detector also provides the transmitter DSP with the information necessary to detect phase conjugation of the optical signal, which can be corrected by inverting the polarity of the data signal or changing the phase bias point of the optical modulator.

摘要： Methods and systems for performing signal pre-correction of a transmission signal comprising a sequence of symbols using a Pattern Dependent Look-up Table (PDLUT) containing one or more distortion correction values. Upon accessing a distortion correction value from the PDLUT for a symbol of the sequence of symbols, the accessed distortion correction value is quantized into one or more quantized values according to one or more quantizations, thereby reducing the bit-width of the distortion correction value. The transmission signal and the distortion correction value with reduced bit-width may undergo linear correction compensation, such as through a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, independent of one another, where the one or more quantized correction values with reduced bit-width reduce a number of calculation steps performed during linear correction compensation resulting in power savings. The linearly compensated quantized values and the linearly compensated signal are combined to form a pre-corrected signal.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for coherent transmitter calibration are provided that employ direct detection (DD) using one single photodetector (PD). The provided method and apparatus do not require hardware for coherent reception, or additional ADCs for quality control. An additional optical tone is added to a QAM optical signal that is outside the band of the QAM optical signal. The result of this is that after direct detection, there is a correlation between the real and imaginary parts, and the imaginary part can be recovered with a Hilbert transform. The estimated QAM optical signal obtained by direct detection is used to perform a transmitter factory calibration method to calibrate for one or more transmitter impairments and/or to perform in-line self-calibration.

摘要： Methods and devices for power imbalance compensation and calibration of a coherent transmitter or transceiver are described. A pilot tone is combined with a digital data signal such that relative amplitudes of the pilot tone in each of four transmitted optical data channels may be detected by a pilot tone detector and used to calculate any power imbalances between I/Q phase channels and/or X/Y polarized channels of the transmitter. The pilot tone detector applies gain to the data signal of the transmitter to compensate for any calculated power imbalances. Because the pilot tone is combined with the digital data signal, its amplitude in each received channel is proportional to the data signal power of that channel.

摘要： Optical transmitters, receivers, and methods are described in an optical network. An optical transmitter comprises an encoder configured to receive an input data stream and to encode the input data stream into a signal. The signal is defined as a sequence of regular units, and a rotator is configured to receive each unit of the signal and to output, for each given input unit with an input state of polarization (SOP), a respective given output unit associated with an output SOP. The output SOP of the given output unit is different from a corresponding output SOP of each other output unit that is immediately adjacent to the given output unit. The output SOPs of the units in a transmitted signal may form an alternating pattern (or other repeating pattern), which may help to lower the average BER, in particular, due to forward error correction (FEC).
