    摘要: A method is provided for transmitting an optical signal in an optical communication system. The system includes a transmitter for generating the optical signal, a receiver for detecting the signal, and an optical fiber communication link interposed between the transmitter and receiver. The optical fiber communication link includes transmission optical fibers concatenated with a plurality of Raman amplifiers and at least one rare earth doped optical fiber amplifier. The method includes the steps of: amplifying the optical signal as it advances through each of the plurality of Raman amplifiers; and compensating for variations in transmission path losses to restore the optical signal to a nominal power level as it advances through the rare earth doped optical fiber amplifier by maintaining the doped optical fiber amplifier in its saturated state.

    摘要: A system, amplifier and method are provided for amplifying an optical signal in an optical communications system where spans between amplifiers may vary. The system includes a Raman amplifier variable gain portion and an EDFA gain portion. The amount of Raman amplifier gain is chosen to trade off accumulation of noise with accumulation of multi-path interference. This variable Raman gain is used to equalize the loss of each span so that the amount of optical power supplied at the input of the EDFA gain portion is substantially constant throughout the system.

    摘要: The soft decision thresholds in a soft decision forward error correction (FEC) system may be adjusted based on mutual information of a detected signal. In one embodiment, a recursive algorithm may be used to optimize threshold values by maximizing the mutual information. In another embodiment, an adaptive scheme may be used to optimize threshold values based on a pre-knowledge of the noise in the channel. In a further embodiment, an adaptive scheme may be used to optimize threshold values by without pre-knowledge of the noise in the channel.
