Abstract:
This invention proposes an alternative modulation format for channels that present improved performance when such channels co-propagate with existing intensity modulated channels. This modulation format is named Rhombic-QPSK (R-QPSK) and it is designed in such a way that it presents more tolerance to phase noise created by the nonlinear interaction with the legacy channels.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for a cyclic (forward-backward) decoding for a forward error-correction FEC scheme includes decoding a given k−1th codeword in in a block code of length N in an optical communication system, forwarding M symbols' enhanced log likelihood ratios LLRs produced by decoding the k−1th codeword, decoding the kth codeword together with forwarded M symbols' enhanced LLRS, and feeding backward, to the initial step i) decoding, corresponding overlapped M symbols' enhanced LLRs for decoding of the k−1 th codeword again.
Abstract:
A method implemented in a transmission apparatus used in an optical fiber communications system for a polarization switched differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signal is disclosed. The method comprises splitting data into two or more data streams, inputting said two or more data streams to 1-bit DQPSK precoders to perform 1-bit DQPSK precoding, and multiplexing inphase outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a first output; and multiplexing quadrature outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a second output. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.

A system and method are provided for distributed acoustic sensing in a multimode optical fiber. The system includes a transmitter for simultaneously propagating a sequence of M light pulses through the multimode optical fiber using a spatial mode selected from a set of N spatial modes provided by a spatial mode selector for the transmitter that is coupled to an input to the multimode optical fiber, with M and N being respective integers greater than one. The system further includes a receiver for receiving the sequence of M light pulses at an output of the multimode optical fiber and detecting an environmental perturbation in the multimode optical fiber based on an evaluation of a propagation of the sequence of M light pulses through the multimode optical fiber.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for optical data transport, including controlling data transport across an optical transmission medium by generating two-dimensional (2D) distribution matchers (DMs) based on probabilistic fold shaping (PFS) and arbitrary probabilistic shaping (APS). The 2D PFS-based DM is can encode any N-fold rotationally symmetrical Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) format by applying the 2D PFS-based DM only to symbols in one quadrant based on a target entropy. A fold index yield uniform distribution is determined, and is utilized to carry generated uniform distributed parity check bits across the optical transmission medium. The 2D APS-based DM can encode any arbitrary modulation formats by encoding uniform binary data to generate non-uniform target symbols, and generating a probability distribution for the target symbols by indirectly applying the 2D APS-based DM based on a target probability distribution and a detected code rate of generated FEC code.
