Abstract:
Disclosed are improved distributed optical fiber sensing systems, methods, and structures employing disparate point sensors that utilize uni-directional signal transmission via the distributed optical fiber such that a separate communications network for the disparate point sensors is not required.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods and structures for distributed fiber sensing systems including interrogator and attached fiber in which the interrogator includes a common line card and function-specific, pluggable front end in which the line card is configurable and supports different signal processing paths and automatically senses the front-end type and uses corresponding firmware/software or signal processing path(s) to process sensed data.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods and structures employing a two-stage detection for distributed vibration detection (DVS) in which a first step provides an abstracted/pre-processing data and the second step—based on the first step result—only processes locations that have or might have activity.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe a method for digital coherent transmission systems that advantageously provides low-complexity, single-step nonlinearity compensation based on artificial intelligence (AI) implemented in a deep neuron network (DNN).
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, structures and methods providing fully reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing (ROADM) that provide redundancy protection against any two (2) simultaneous wavelength selective switch (WSS) failures with only four 2×1 WSS structures for both Eastbound and Westbound traffic, while not requiring bidirectional operation of the WSS structures.
Abstract:
Disclosed are universal QPSK transmitter structures and methods for generating different QPSK signals exhibiting different polarization schemes, namely PolMux, PolMod and PolSw. The bit rate of the generated signals is variable, thereby allowing the transmitter to adjust to varying network traffic conditions. Advantageously, the generated signals may be detected by analog receivers (PolSw-QPSK) and coherent receivers (PolMux-QPSK, PolMod-QPSK, and PolSw-QPSK).
Abstract:
Systems and methods for data transport, comprising encoding one or more streams of input data with one or more low density parity check (LDPC) encoders, corresponding to one or more polarization/spatial mode branches. One or more encoded data streams are mapped to symbols, wherein the mapper is configured to assign bits of the symbols to a signal constellation and to associate the bits of the symbols with signal constellation points. A signal constellation is formulated which minimizes a mean-square error of the signal constellation representing the source. The optimum signal constellation size is adjusted to improve transmission quality by adjusting the signal constellation an optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), wherein the signal constellation is selected using a look-up table (LUT); and the symbols are modulated in accordance with the output of the mapper onto a transmission medium.
