摘要:
An apparatus, e.g. an optical device, includes an optical transmitter and a mixer. The transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of optical data channels that each include at least one spectral component at a same frequency. The mixer is configured to combine a first data channel with a second data channel. The combining is such that first and second optical channels output by the optical transmitter each include contributions from the first and second data channels at the same frequency.
摘要:
We disclose an optical transport system configured to reduce nonlinear signal distortions using an electronic phase rotation, the phase value of which is determined using pre-filtering, e.g., via a low-pass filter, of the digital samples representing an optical communication signal prior to applying a squaring operation to the digital samples. In some embodiments, the phase value used in the electronic phase rotation can be determined using double filtering of the digital samples that, in addition to the pre-filtering, employs post-filtering, e.g., via another low-pass filter, of the digital samples generated by the squaring operation. The electronic phase rotation can be implemented as part of a backward-propagation algorithm that, in addition to reducing the nonlinear signal distortions, provides at least partial dispersion compensation. In various embodiments, the corresponding backward-propagation module can be incorporated into the transmitter's digital signal processor (DSP) or the receiver's DSP.
