    摘要: A method for transmitting digital information having a predetermined bit-rate (B) via a nonlinear optical channel includes determining a combination of transmission parameters comprising a number (N) of subcarriers, an information symbol rate (S) for each subcarrier, and a number (b) of bits per symbol on each subcarrier, such that B=NSb. An optical signal is generated comprising the plurality (N) of orthogonal optical subcarriers. Each subcarrier is modulated to carry a proportion (Sb/B) of the total bit-rate (B) of the digital information. The optical signal is then transmitted to a corresponding optical receiver via the nonlinear optical channel. The received signal has a measurable signal quality (Q) which is a function of the transmission parameters (N, S, b). Determining the combination of transmission parameters comprises selecting the parameters such that the associated signal quality is greater than a corresponding quality for a single-carrier transmission, and greater than a corresponding quality employing a larger number (M>N) of subcarriers.

    摘要: An optical signal (116) is modulated with a transmitted electrical signal comprising an information-bearing component (122) and a pilot tone (120) having a predetermined frequency. Transmission of the signal results in distortion, including nonlinear optical transmission impairments. A method of receiving the signal includes detecting the optical signal to produce a received electrical signal (X) comprising a distorted variant of the transmitted electrical signal. The pilot tone is extracted from the received electrical signal using a filtering operation (308) having a predetermined characteristic, and a compensation signal determined based upon the extracted pilot tone. The compensation signal is applied to the received electrical signal (X) to produce a compensated signal (Y) having reduced distortion. The predetermined characteristic of the filtering operation (308) is represented by one or more parameters having values selected so as to substantially maximize a measure of quality of the compensated signal.

    摘要: A method of transmitting information over a non-linear optical channel includes the step (152) of generating an information-bearing signal, preferably an OFDM signal, which includes a plurality of closely-spaced sub-carriers in the frequency domain. A time-varying phase modulation is determined (154), which is a first function, and preferably a linear function, of the transmitted optical power corresponding with the information-bearing signal. The information-bearing signal and the time-varying phase modulation are applied (156) to an optical source in order to generate a corresponding transmitted optical signal having substantially the stated transmitted optical power characteristic. The first function of transmitted optical power is selected so as to mitigate the effect of the non-linearity of the optical channel upon the transmitted optical signal. In alternative arrangements, a time-varying phase modulation, being a second function of optical power, is computed (162) and applied (164) to a signal received following transmission through a non-linear optical channel. The two alternative arrangements provide, respectively, for pre-compensation and post-compensation of non-linear propagation effects that may be carried out entirely within the electrical domain, for example using digital signal processing techniques.

    摘要: An equalizer (200) for equalization of a signal transmitted via an optical fiber link from a transmitter to a corresponding receiver employs a backpropagation model (300) which comprises one or more sequential segments collectively representing an inverse fiber link. Each sequential segment comprises a linear backpropagation element (304), and a non-linear backpropagation element (306) having an associated compensation bandwidth (312). The equalizer (200) generates a distortion-mitigated signal by computing, for each sequential segment in turn, a first linear compensated signal from a signal input to the segment in accordance with the linear backpropagation element (304), and a non-linear compensated signal from the first linear compensated signal in accordance with the non-linear backpropagation element (306). Computation of the non-linear compensation signal comprises limiting a bandwidth of a compensation signal derived from the first linear compensated signal in accordance with the associated compensation bandwidth (312).

Transmission of the signal results in distortion, including nonlinear optical transmission impairments.
