An optical transport network based on multimode/multicore fibers includes a mode-multiplexer to multiplex independent data streams from one or more transmitters; a multimode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (MM EDFA) to compensate for MMF loss; a multimode optical add-drop multiplexer (MM OADM) to add and/or drop multimode channels in multimode networks; a multimode optical cross-connect; and a mode-demultiplexer to separate various mode streams to one or more receivers.

An optical probability-domain LDPC decoder suitable for implementation at 100 Gb/s and above provides large coding gains when based on large-girth LDPC codes. A basic building block, the probabilities multiplier circuit, used to implement both check node and probability node update circuits can be implemented using Mach-Zehnder delay interferometer.

A transmitter, a receiver, and corresponding methods are provided. The transmitter includes encoders configured to encode source bit streams from L information sources into bytes of codewords. Each encoder includes different (n, k) multidimensional turbo-product codes of code rate R=k/n, where k is a number of information bytes, and n is code word length. The encoders operate in at least two phases. A first phase involves operating ky column-encoders in parallel on kx bytes per column to generate the code words for a current dimension. A second phase involves operating nx row-encoders in parallel on ky memory locations per rows to generate the code words for the current dimension. The first and second phases are repeated for remaining layers of the current dimension and layers of other dimensions.

Multilevel soft-equalizer detectors, such as a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detector, suitable for use in polarization multiplexed optical communications using multilevel modulations and coherent detection are disclosed. Detection systems and methods may consider two symbols transmitted over two orthogonal polarization states as a two-component symbol, which is effective in eliminating the bit error ratio (BER) floor phenomenon introduced by conventional soft equalizers.

Systems and methods enabling ultra-high-speed optical transport The systems and methods include receiving a modulated, encoded input stream. Channel impairments are removed using MAP equalization. Symbols are detected in the input stream to produce a stream of encoded data. The stream of encoded data is decoded with one or more low density parity check (LDPC) decoders that use an LDPC code built by modified progressive edge growth. The LDPC code is built by iteratively expanding trees from each variable node until all check nodes are connected to the respective variable node, while controlling both the local girth and the global girth of the code.
摘要:
Methods and systems for optical communication using hybrid subcarrier/amplitude/phase/polarization modulation are shown that include LDPC encoding a plurality of groups of bitstreams. The groups of bitstreams are mapped to the points of a three-dimensional constellation that is represented by the vertices of a regular polyhedron and its dual. Each group of bitstreams is then modulated onto a respective subcarrier beam and the subcarrier beams are combined into a carrier beam using a power combiner.

A turbo equalizer includes a Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) equalizer configured to receive a transmitted signal and partially cancel inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to polarization-mode dispersion (PMD). A low-density parity check (LDPC) decoder is coupled to the BCJR equalizer to receive channel bit reliabilities therefrom. The LDPC decoder iteratively provides extrinsic soft information feedback to the BCJR equalizer to compensate for PMD.
摘要:
In a polarization-multiplexing optical communications system, a method and system for coherent reception of polarization-multiplexed optical communications. Training and data sequences are recovered from a plurality of orthogonally polarized signals, such that training and data sequences may be used on a single channel without loss of spectral efficiency. This is accomplished by estimating a channel response for each orthogonally polarized signal based on the mean of the signal and distinguishing between a data sequence and a training sequence in each orthogonally polarized signal. Such distinguishing is accomplished according to an iterative linear minimum mean-square equalization based on the respective channel response estimate.
