    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a method and system for estimating chromatic dispersion of an optical signal in a coherent receiver is provided that is insensitive to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and other polarization effects in the optical communication system. The effects of chromatic dispersion in the optical system are estimated by first calculating a phase shift between a pair of related frequency domain data outputs of a Fourier transform circuit. The calculated phase shift includes a linear phase component that is proportional to the chromatic dispersion, a DC constant phase component, and a data spectrum component. The calculated phase shift is then averaged over a number of clock cycles to remove the data spectrum components. The time averaged result is used to normalize any effects of PMD from the received signal. A slope of the linear phase component as a function of frequency is then calculated and used to estimate the value for chromatic dispersion. The chromatic dispersion estimate is then used to determine a number of coefficients of an inverse frequency response of the chromatic dispersion in the system, and is used to compensate for the chromatic dispersion.

    摘要: A system receives four-bit symbols that correspond to traffic associated with a three-bit phase modulation scheme and are encoded based on a four-bit phase modulation scheme. The system determines values with which to perform equalization that enable the four-bit symbols to be restored to a condition that existed prior to being transmitted to the system. The system performs, using the values, equalization on a four-bit symbol that includes at least a first pair of bits associated with a first polarization, and performs, after completing the equalization, another equalization on another four-bit symbol that includes at least a second pair of bits associated with a second polarization. The system identifies a three-bit symbol, of a set of three-bit symbols associated with the three-bit phase modulation scheme, based on the equalized first pair of bits and the equalized second pair of bits, generates the three-bit symbol, and outputs the three-bit symbol.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, optical signals are modulated in accordance with a higher order QAM modulation format, such as 8-QAM, to carry customer data, for example. The optical signals are converted to corresponding electrical signals, which are then subject to further processing. In particular, phase data associated with the higher order QAM constellation is processed, such that the outer points of the constellation are rotated to have the same phase as the inner points. As a result, both the inner and outer points resemble a constellation, and both may be more readily processed using feedforward or feedback carrier recovery. After such carrier recovery, the phase data is further processed so that the outer points are rotated back and the customer data can be extracted from the phase data.

    摘要: A system receives traffic that includes four-bit symbols, the four-bit symbols being encoded using a four-bit phase modulation scheme; and processes the traffic to recover a four-bit symbol. The system also decodes the recovered four-bit symbol to obtain a three-bit symbol. The three-bit symbol is associated with a three-quadrature amplitude modulation (3QAM) scheme, and the decoding is performed without creating an error, within the traffic, when cycle slip occurs. The system outputs the traffic based on the three-bit symbol.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, data, in digital form, is received by a transmit node of an optical communication system, and converted to an analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to drive a modulator. The modulator, in turn, modulates light at one of a plurality of wavelengths in accordance with the received data forming a plurality of corresponding carriers. The carriers are modulated according to one of a plurality of modulation formats and then optically combined to form a superchannel of a constant maximum capacity, for example. Accordingly, the number of carriers and the bit rate for each carrier remain constant for each modulation format to realize a constant maximum capacity. The superchannel is then transmitted over an optical communication path to a receive node. At the receive node, the superchannel is optically demultiplexed from a plurality of other superchannels. The plurality of carriers of the superchannel are then supplied to a photodetector circuit, which receives additional light at one of the optical signal carrier wavelengths from a local oscillator laser. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided in the receive node to convert the electrical signals output from the photodetector into digital form. The output from the ADC is then filtered in the electrical domain, such that optical demultiplexing of the carriers is unnecessary.
