Abstract:
A system and method for soft decision forward error correction (FEC) decoding may be used to determine a possible error in a differential detection signal, for example, in a DPSK system. The system and method uses the constructive and destructive signals from a demodulator to provide an error locating signal. Using the error locating signal, the system and method converts the differential detection signal into a soft decision signal including multi-level soft values.
Abstract:
Polarization multiplexing with different differential phase shift keying (DPSK) schemes generally uses DPSK modulated signals modulated using different DPSK modulation schemes and combined with orthogonal polarizations relative to each other. The different DPSK modulation schemes may use different DPSK phase shifts to represent data, such as a regular DPSK modulation scheme and a π/2 DPSK modulation scheme. By using different DPSK modulation schemes to represent data on the orthogonally polarized signals, the DPSK demodulators may effectively separate the orthogonally polarized signals using the property of the DPSK receivers. To optimize performance, the DPSK modulated signals may also be bit-interleaved when combined with orthogonal polarization.

Abstract:
A system and method for mitigating dispersion slope is capable of reducing the performance impact on an optical communication system caused by dispersion slope. The system and method receives an optical signal, demultiplexes the optical signal and optically filters the demultiplexed optical signals. The optical filters may have a bandwidth that is wide with respect to the demultiplexed optical signals and narrow with respect to the original optical signal.

Abstract:
In general, optical communication systems and methods may generate higher-level nmQAM from nQAM signals using one or more delay line interferometers (DLIs) arranged in various configurations. The nQAM signals may be generated by a lower-level modulator, such as a BPSK modulator, QPSK modulator or lower-level QAM modulator, with binary driving signals. Different parameters of the DLIs, such as free spectral range (FSR), phase shift, and amplitude imbalance, may be selected to accomplish the desired higher-level nmQAM depending upon the nQAM signal.

Abstract:
Techniques and devices based on a wave-guiding element which has a spatial grating pattern that is an oscillatory variation along its optic axis. The wave-guiding element is configured to receive an input optical signal and to produce an output optical signal by reflection within a Bragg reflection band produced by the spatial grating pattern so as to produce time delays of different reflected spectral components as a nonlinear function of spatial positions along said optic axis at which the different reflected spectral components are respectively reflected. Such a wave-guiding element may be a nonlinearly chirped fiber grating A control unit may be engaged to the wave-guiding element and is operable to change a property of the spatial grating pattern along the optic axis to tune at least relative time delays of the different reflected spectral components nonlinearly with respect to wavelength.
