    摘要: A transmitter comprises a complex mixer to generate a single I analog drive signal and a single Q analog drive signal, and a single multi-dimensional optical modulator configured to modulate an optical carrier light using the single I analog drive signal and the single Q analog drive signal to produce a modulated optical signal for transmission. Alternatively, a transmitter comprises a complex mixer to generate two I analog drive signals and two Q analog drive signals, and a single multi-dimensional multiple-electrode optical modulator configured to modulate an optical carrier light using the analog drive signals to produce a modulated optical signal for transmission. In both transmitters, the optical carrier light is produced by a single laser, and frequency components of the first data signal are located in a different portion of a spectrum of the modulated optical signal than frequency components of the second data signal.

    摘要: A transmitter in an optical communications system includes a digital signal processor for processing a data signal to generate a sample stream encoding successive symbols in accordance with a constrained phase modulation scheme having a constellation of at least two symbols and a modulation phase constrained to a phase range spanning less than 4π. A digital-to-analog converter converts the sample stream into a corresponding analog drive signal. A finite range phase modulator modulates a phase of a continuous wavelength channel light in accordance with the analog drive signal, to generate a modulated channel light for transmission through the optical communications system. A receiver in the optical communications system includes an optical stage for detecting phase and amplitude of the modulated channel light and for generating a corresponding sample stream, and a digital signal processor for processing the sample stream to estimate each successive symbol of the modulated channel light.

    摘要: An optical network system having a global controller capable of controlling all the elements of the network. The controller receives performance data from each optical network element and calculates a performance value for each channel transmitting through the system. The controller then isolates the channel with the minimum performance value and tests possible changes in network element parameters to find a change which would increase this performance value. Once such a change is found, it is implemented and the system is reoptimized.

    摘要: In a method of estimating a bit rate (f1) of a digital signal conveyed through a SONET network between an originating node and a terminating node, the digital signal received by the originating node is processed to determine a result of a first function of the signal bit rate (f1) and a respective Tx local reference frequency (f2) of the originating node. A result of a second function of the Tx local reference frequency (f2) and a respective Rx local reference frequency (f3) of the terminating node is calculated. Finally, a result of a third function of the respective first and second function results is calculated, to derive an estimate of the signal bit rate (f4) relative to the Rx local reference frequency (f3).

    摘要: A receiver is configured to generate a digital signal representative of data conveyed by a communication signal detected at the receiver, and to apply digital signal processing to the digital signal, thereby generating a processed signal. The receiver is further configured to determine a relative noise estimate for the processed signal, and to load an amount of digital noise into the digital signal processing based on a difference between the relative noise estimate and a target. As a result of the digital noise loading, improved stability of at least one control loop in the receiver may be achieved.

    摘要: In a method of synthesizing an optical signal, a multi-bit digital representation of a desired optical E-field is generated. The multi-bit digital representation has a resolution of N1-bits, where N1 is an integer greater than 2. At least two analog drive signals are synthesized based on the multi-bit digital representation. Each analog drive signal exhibits excursions between 2M discrete states (i.e. has a resolution of M-bits), where M is an integer greater than 2. An electrical-to-optical (E/O) converter is driven using the analog drive signals to generate an output optical E-field at an output of the E/O converter. An error is detected between the output optical E-field and the desired complex E-field waveform, and at least one parameter adjusted so as to minimize the detected error.

    摘要: An optical signal occupying one or more wavelengths. An optical data signal on each wavelength is modulated with a respective overhead (dither) signal, resulting in a respective dithered optical signal. The amplitude of a particular overhead signal used to modulate the corresponding optical data signal is chosen so that the RMS value of the overhead signal in the dithered optical signal is proportional to the average intensity of the optical data signal. The instantaneous frequency of each overhead signal is time-varying and each possible frequency belongs to a distinct set of frequencies which are all harmonically related to a fundamental frequency. The distinctness of each set of frequencies allows each overhead signal to be uniquely isolated from an aggregate overhead signal. The harmonic relationship among the frequencies allows improved accuracy of RMS detection at a receiver as well as reduced computational complexity, as each possible frequency for each overhead signal can be made to fall at the center of one of the frequency bins of a single FFT of reasonable size performed at a receiver. Methods and systems for generating and detecting such signals are disclosed.

    摘要: The power of an optical signal (s1) travelling on a channel (&lgr;1) of a WDM transmission system, is measured using a signature bit pattern (sBP1) which is inserted in the frame of the optical signal (s1). The power level of sBPL is adjusted at the launching point to a predetermined ratio (m) with the power of the optical signal. At a point of interest, the fiber is tapped and a fraction of the tapped signal, that includes a corresponding fraction of sBP1, is converted to an electrical signal. The fraction of sBP1 is extracted from a the electrical signal and power of sBPL is measured. This gives the optical power of s1 as (m) is known and also the calibration constant for the respective channel (&lgr;1) is known. The method can be applied for any and all channels of the WDM transmission system.
