摘要:
A method and system for mitigating distortion in coherent single-ended photo-detection is disclosed. The methodology comprises: receiving an optical signal carried on an optical transmission medium and coherently detecting the received optical signal to produce a digitized signal; estimating a time-dependent random variable introducing distortion to the coherently detected signal; and subtracting the distortion from digitized signal to produce a distortion mitigated output signal.

A wavelength dispersion amount estimation method, a wavelength dispersion compensation circuit, and a receiving device which rapidly estimate and set a wavelength dispersion amount to compensate with high accuracy at the receiving device which compensates waveform distortion at an optical fiber transmission path. A wavelength dispersion compensation circuit includes an analog-digital converter which converts an optical analog waveform received from the optical fiber transmission path to a digital signal, a digital signal processor which compensates waveform distortion of the digital signal output from the analog-digital converter due to wavelength dispersion at the optical fiber transmission path with a dispersion compensation amount estimated with the wavelength dispersion amount estimation method, and a symbol clock extractor which extracts a symbol arrival timing clock of received data contained in the digital signal output from the analog-digital converter and outputs strength of the symbol arrival timing clock as the clock detection value.

In an apparatus for supporting designing of an optical network including a plurality of nodes and links which connect the plurality of nodes: a storage stores information indicating distances of the links and information indicating amounts of chromatic dispersion in the links; and a path selection unit selects a path for use in transmission of an optical signal, from among a plurality of paths each extending from a start node to a destination node, by reference to the storage. The path selection unit selects the path for use in transmission on the basis of deviations of amounts of chromatic dispersion accumulated by transmission to respective nodes on each of the plurality of paths, from reference amounts at the respective nodes, and the reference amounts at the respective nodes on each of the plurality of paths are determined according to distances from the start node to the respective nodes.

The group delay monitor may be configured to obtain group delay data corresponding to group delay of an optical signal and provide the group delay data to a signal receiver. The signal receiver configured to obtain a time-domain digital signal corresponding to the optical signal, convert the time-domain digital signal into a frequency-domain signal, apply a digital filter constructed based on the group delay data to the frequency-domain signal to obtain an output signal, and transmit the output signal.

A method of encrypting an optical communications signal involves determining an encryption function, filtering an electrical input signal using the encryption function to generate an encrypted electrical signal, and modulating an optical source using the encrypted electrical signal to generate a corresponding encrypted optical signal. This is then transmitted through an optical communications system. The encryption is selected such as to substantially remove symbol definition from the optical signal. This method provides digital signal processing of an electrical input signal in order to derive a signal for controlling an optical modulator in such a way that the optical signal transmitted over the link is a continuous analogue signal rather than a series of discrete symbols which alternate between well-defined signal values. This makes it difficult for a third party to derive the binary bit sequence encoded by the optical signal.

Systems and methods for extended reach low differential latency optical networking with optical amplifiers and dispersion compensation modules configured to minimize latency between transmit and receive paths are provided. Additionally, systems and methods are provided for incorporating absolute time references wherein the relative accuracy of clock time between various servers used in various multi-site enterprises is required. The transport systems and methods are used in conjunction with low differential latency systems. The transport systems and methods provide that the differential latency between transmit and receive directions is maintained within about +/−5 microseconds of the transmit/receive path differential delay requirement in order to perform within the overall parameters of the low differential latency system architecture.
摘要:
The mixing of coherent optical wavelength channels with non-coherent optical wavelength channels. Before mixing, a dispersive element introduces dispersion into the coherent optical wavelength channels and/or into the non-coherent optical wavelength channels such that the dispersion map of the coherent optical wavelength channels is different than the dispersion map of the non-coherent optical wavelength channels. By allowing the coherent channels to have a different dispersion map, the dispersion map may be moved further from the zero dispersion point, which can degrade coherent detection. Accordingly, coherent optical channels and non-coherent optical channels may be transmitted effectively over the same optical link.
摘要:
An optical assembly in an optical link coupling two optical terminals. The optical assembly receives and demultiplexes two groups of optical wavelength channels which are each treated separately as far as dispersion compensation and discrete amplification are concerned. The optical assembly then multiplexes the two groups back into the same fiber for further transmission. For instance, one group of optical wavelength channels may each be coherent channels, and subject to no dispersion in the optical assembly, while the other group may contain non-coherent channels, which are subject to dispersion compensation in the optical assembly.

Filter implementation using Hermitian conjugates and time division multiplexing (TDM) is disclosed to more efficiently compensate for chromatic dispersion of optical signals transmitted over a fiber optic medium. Embodiments for an input, filter, and output sections of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) are described. The disclosed methods, and corresponding apparatus and systems enables a substantial reduction in the complexity of the hardware needed to implement CD compensation in the DSP. According to another embodiment, Inverse-Fourier transform circuits receive TDM data from the filter section and assemble the TDM data format back to a non-TDM format.
