    摘要: In the optical transmission system to transmit optical signals using a plurality of adjacent paths, it is difficult to detect a delay difference between a plurality of paths and chromatic dispersion with a high degree of accuracy due to a crosstalk; therefore, a method for detecting optical signal information according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes generating a plurality of data signal sequences corresponding to a plurality of paths multiplexed spatially, each of the plurality of data signal sequences obtained by inserting periodically a training signal with a plurality of frequency components in a data signal, in the plurality of data signal sequences, the training signals respectively included in the data signal sequences to be propagated through adjacent paths at least having different frequency components from each other at the same timing, each of a plurality of the training signals included in one of the data signal sequences having the plurality of frequency components whose frequency difference differing depending on a position to be inserted; and calculating a propagation delay difference between the plurality of paths and chromatic dispersion amounts in the plurality of paths from the plurality of frequency components included in the training signals having been propagated through the plurality of paths by optical signals.

    摘要: Technology for fiber parameter identification in an optical communications network is described. One or more C-matrices are calculated from one or more corresponding signals received at a receiver from a transmitter over a link in the optical communications network, where each C-matrix comprises a plurality of C-coefficients representative of nonlinear noise in the received signal. A combination of chromatic dispersion (CD) pre-compensation applied at the transmitter and CD post-compensation applied at the receiver may substantially compensate for a net CD of the link. The one or more C-matrices are used to identify one or more fiber parameter estimates of the link, such as one or more fiber types, one or more nonlinear coefficients, or one or more dispersion coefficients. A controller of the optical communications network may use the identified fiber parameters estimates to control a state of the network to achieve an objective, such as improved network performance.

    摘要: Provided is an optical communication system capable of suppressing the deterioration of an intensity waveform of an optical intensity modulated signal subjected to transformation using SSB modulation and improving a bit error ratio and a receiver sensitivity of the optical intensity modulated signal. The optical communication system includes: an optical transmitter section including: a single-side band modulation circuit configured to subject a double-side band modulated signal to generate a single-side band modulated signal; a correction circuit configured to correct an intensity of the single-side band modulated signal so that the intensity of the single-side band modulated signal becomes closer to an intensity of the double-side band modulated signal; and an optical IQ modulator configured to output an optical modulated signal; and an optical receiver section configured to receive the optical modulated signal to directly detect an intensity component of the optical modulated signal.

    摘要: A method for overlapping spectrum amplification includes receiving an optical signal and splitting the optical signal into a first split signal having a first wavelength band and a second split signal having a second wavelength band. The splitting results in a band gap between the first wavelength band and the second wavelength band. The method further includes delaying the first split signal by a threshold period of time relative to the second split signal and combining the first split signal and the second split signal, resulting in a combined signal having the first wavelength band and the second wavelength band without the band gap therebetween. The path difference between the first split signal along the first signal path and the second split signal along the second signal path is within a threshold multipath interference compensation range.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a frequency domain equalization method, including transmitting an optical signal transmitted over a long distance to a dispersion compensation device, and performing dispersion compensation and equalization processing on the optical signal through the dispersion compensation device. The present invention utilizes the compensation effect of a single dispersion compensation device to realize dispersion compensation and frequency equalization on the optical signal, reducing the bandwidth requirements for the devices at the emitting and receiving ends, allows the directly modulated laser to still support long-distance fiber transmission in the case of high-speed signal modulation, and greatly reduces the system cost. In addition, transmissions over different distances can be supported by changing the value for the dispersion amount, so that the distance can be adjusted flexibly according to the requirements in the data center or other application scenarios.
