    摘要: An optical transmitter configured to perform digital signal equalization directed at mitigating the detrimental effects of a frequency roll-off in the transmitter's optical I-Q modulator. In various embodiments, a frequency-dependent spectral-correction function used for the digital signal equalization can be constructed to cause the spectrum of the modulated optical signal generated by the transmitter to have a desired degree of flatness in the vicinity of an optical carrier frequency and/or to at least partially mirror the frequency roll-off in the optical I-Q modulator.

    摘要: A space division multiplexed (SDM) transmission system that includes at least two segments of transmission media in which a spatial assignment of the two segments is different is provided. For example, the SDM transmission may include a first segment of transmission media having a first spatial assignment and a second segment of transmission media having a second spatial assignment, wherein the first spatial assignment differs from the second spatial assignment. An example method obtains an optical signal on a first segment of transmission media having a first spatial assignment and forwards the optical signal on a second segment of transmission media with a different spatial assignment. The transmission media may be a multi-core fiber (MCF), a multi-mode fiber (MMF), a few-mode fiber (FMF), or a ribbon cable comprising nominally uncoupled single-mode fiber (SMF).

    摘要: An example apparatus comprises an optical transmitter which includes a first processor and at least two optical modulators. The first processor is configured to generate a first electronic representation for each of at least two optical signals for carrying payload data modulated according to a one-dimensional (1-D) modulation format, and to induce on respective ones of the first electronic representations an amount of dispersion that depends on a power-weighted accumulated dispersion (ADPW) of a transmission link through which the at least two optical signals are to be transmitted thereby generating complex-valued electronic representations of pre-dispersion-compensated optical signals. Each of the at least two optical modulators modulate a respective analog version corresponding to a respective one of the complex-valued electronic representations onto a polarization of an optical carrier.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a coherent optical receiver has a digital signal processor that processes one or more digital I/Q-signal pairs to recover data carried by a modulated optical signal in a manner that mitigates, based on calibration data retrieved from a memory or on appropriate performance measures and feedback mechanisms, the detrimental effects of frequency-dependent imbalances between the I and Q sub-channels of at least one of the I/Q channels of the receiver. In various embodiments, the calibration data can be generated and written into the memory at the fabrication facility or in situ while the receiver is being operated in a calibration mode. Alternatively or in addition, the calibration data can be generated and dynamically adjusted online during normal operation of the receiver.

    摘要: An optical transport system configured to transmit a set of two or more optical variants per bit-word, with the optical variants in the set being different from one another in one or more of the time of transmission, spatial localization, polarization of light, carrier wavelength, and subcarrier frequency. Differences between the optical variants may also be due to different respective constellation mapping. The optical variants of each set are detected and processed at the receiver in a manner that enables coherent summation of the corresponding electrical signals prior to constellation de-mapping. The coherent summation tends to average out the deleterious effects of linear and nonlinear noise/distortions imparted on the individual optical variants in the optical transport link because said noise/distortions are incoherent in nature. A BER reduction enabled by the use of optical variants may be implemented in addition to or instead of that provided by FEC coding.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises an optical transmitter that comprises a processor and at least one optical modulator. The processor is configured to generate electronic representations of at least two pre-dispersion-compensated phase-conjugated optical variants carrying a same modulated payload data for transmission. The at least one optical modulator is configured to modulate the electronic representations, wherein an amount of dispersion induced on the pre-dispersion-compensated phase-conjugated optical variants depends on an accumulated dispersion (AD) of a transmission link through which the pre-dispersion-compensated phase-conjugated optical variants are to be transmitted. The amount of dispersion induced on the phase-conjugated optical variants may be approximately −AD/2, where AD is the accumulated dispersion of the transmission link. The pre-dispersion-compensated phase-conjugated optical variants are different from one another in one or more dimensions such as the polarization of light, the time of transmission, the spatial localization, the optical carrier wavelength, or the subcarrier frequency during transmission.
