Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of encoding and/or decoding data for optical data transmission along a transmission link, as well as corresponding transmitters and receivers. The data is encoded based on an adaptive constellation diagram in a 2-D plane, said constellation diagram including a first and a second pair of symbols, wherein the symbols of the first pair of symbols are located at opposite sides of the origin of the 2-D plane at a first distance di from each other, and wherein the symbols of the second pair of symbols are located at opposite sides of the origin of the 2-D plane at a second distance d2 from each other. The method comprises a step of adapting the constellation diagram by varying the ratio of the first and second distances d1, d2 such as to minimize or nearly minimize a bit error rate in the transmitted data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a service provisioning tool and method for determining favorable implementations of a service in a grid-less optical network, wherein said service provisioning tool is configured to assign total cost values to a given implementations, select the implementation or a group of implementations having the lowest cost, wherein said total cost values are based on —cost values regarding selectable data rates on individual links, —cost values regarding necessity to install additional equipment, —cost values regarding selectable signal frequency bands. One or more of said cost values are dynamically changing as a function of one or more of the degree of utilization, the lifetime of the service, the time available for establishing the service, a modulation format and a signal power. The cost value per band width varies, depending on one or more of the size of the selected frequency band, and to what extent the selected frequency band fills gaps between occupied spectral ranges or creates gaps remaining between occupied spectral ranges.

Abstract: A network element of a software-defined network comprises a data transfer interface (210) for receiving and transmitting data and a processing system (215) for constructing a software-defined data path and a fixed-functionality data path such as for example an IP/MPLS or L2 switching path. The software-defined data path comprises look-up tables for selecting software-defined actions and the fixed-functionality data path defines fixed-functionality actions. The processing system is adapted to convert metadata associated with data managed by the software-defined data path to a data format suitable for the fixed-functionality data path when one or more of the fixed-functionality actions are needed in conjunction with forwarding the data. One of the fixed-functionality actions is selected at least partly on the basis of which one of the look-up tables was most recently accessed, and the determined fixed-functionality action is carried out so as to initiate the one or more needed fixed-functionality actions.

Abstract: Component signal values are derived from component signals and fed to at least one fixed equalizer which generates equalizer output signals. The signals are fed to phase error detectors generating phase error signals. The phase error signals are combined with further phase error signals derived by further error detectors receiving signal values from further equalizers and/or the component signal values directly from sample units.

Abstract: An optical IQ modulator (IQM) including two parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) generates single sideband data signals. A control unit (18) generates additional optical single sideband pilot signals (PS1, PS2) positioned in a lower and a higher sideband respectively, and also further pilot signals (PS3, PS4) in both sidebands. A IQ modulator output signal (MOS) converted into electrical monitoring signals (MOS) and monitored. A control unit (18) selects control signals (CS12, CS3, CS4) and controls the IQ modulator via its bias ports (6, 7, 8) till the power transfer functions (PTF) of the Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) and the phase difference (ΔΦ) between their output signals is optimized.

Abstract: A photonic cross-connect arrangement is presented which is able to cope with the transmission of super-channels, wherein complete super-channels are dropped and added to change a direction of transport. At least a cyclic filter is used in a drop-branch of a cross-connect for dividing a super-channel into sub-channels and/or at least a further cyclic filter is used in an add-branch to configure a super-channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for decoding an optical data signal. Said optical data signal is phase and amplitude modulated according to a constellation diagram with at least eight constellation points representing non-binary symbols. Said decoding method comprises the following steps: —carrying out a carrier phase recovery of a received signal ignoring the possible occurrence of phase slips, —decoding said signal after phase recovery, wherein in said decoding, possible cycle slips occurring during phase recovery are modelled as virtual input to an equivalent encoder assumed by the decoding scheme. Further disclosed are a related encoding method as well as a receiver and a transmitter.

Abstract: The invention refers a method and an arrangement for channel set up in an optical network. An optical signal path is configured for a certain optical channel signal (OC1) of a WDM-signal. This channel signal (OC1) is on-off-modulated by a modulation test signal (MT1) having a predetermined lower frequency and is generating a channel test signal (OT1). This channel test signal (OT1) is combined with other optical channels (OC2-OCn) to the WDM-signal (WS) and transmitted via said path. At a start node (1) or a downstream node (3, 5) a measurement signal (EMI, EM3) is derived from the complete WDM-signal (WS) without wavelength de-multiplexing. The measurement signal (EMI, EM3) is compared with a correlation signal (MC1) and an obtained power level (PC1) is used to adjust the channel power (PC1, PC2, PC3) to achieve predetermined target power values (PC1-PC4) at different power monitoring points (19, 40, 41, 58). The adjustment step is repeated for all downstream nodes (3, 5) and all further channel signals (OC2-OCn).
