    摘要: A novel and simple photonic vector signal generation scheme at radio frequency (RF) bands enabled by a single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM)-based optical carrier suppression (OCS) without precoding techniques and optical filter, which can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing (DSP), is described. The generation and reception of 16/20/22-Gbaud quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) vector signals at 16/20/22 GHz are experimentally demonstrated, respectively. The measured bit-error ratio for 16G-baud QPSK vector signals after transmitting over 10-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) can be under 7% hard-decision forward-error-correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8×10−3. Moreover, compared to the conventional precoding scheme, the receiver sensitivity can be enhanced by 4 dB at both back-to-back (BTB) and after 10-km SSMF transmission cases, which demonstrates the feasibility of this technique, and show its potential promising application in radio over fiber (RoF) system.

    摘要: Optical signal to noise ratio within a band of interest (in-band OSNR) is calculated by using a reference signal for noise estimation. In-band noise at a node along the optical communication path is estimated by subtracting the reference signal contribution from the received in-band signal energy. Contribution from the reference signal is calculated using an effective transfer function of the optical communication path using either a direct method in which measurements are made a priori on an equivalent optical system or an indirect method in which the effective transfer function is calculated using computerized simulations. The selection of which method to use may be based on the desired resolution bandwidth for the estimation of transfer function.

    摘要: A dual-polarization, 4-subcarriers orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal carrying information bits is transmitted in an optical communication network without transmitting a corresponding pilot tone or training sequence. A receiver receives the transmitted signal and recovers information bits using a blind equalization technique and by equalizing the 4-subcarriers OFDM signal as a 25-QAM signal in time domain with a CMMA (constant multi modulus algorithm) equalization method.

    摘要: An optical transmitter determines the transfer function in the reference-based pre-equalization for applying to an optically modulated signal at the transmitter. The determined pre-equalization transfer function is made robust to linewidth inaccuracy of the optical source by performing phase correction during the calculation of the pre-equalization transfer function. The phase correction includes averaging a number of consecutive received phase samples. The determined pre-equalization transfer function is applied to modulated signals prior to the transmission over an optical medium.

    摘要: An optical transmitter apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and one or more programs configured to be executed by the processor. The programs include instructions for nonlinearity estimation that characterizes nonlinearity in an optical communication and estimates an amount of symbol distortion caused by the nonlinearity, instructions for selecting and mapping symbols to provide, for the nonlinearity estimation, only symbols that meet predetermined nonlinearity criteria, and instructions for storing, in the memory, the amount of symbol distortion to be used for a nonlinearity pre-compensation.
