    Abstract: A method and structure for compensation techniques in coherent optical receivers. The present invention provides a coherent optical receiver with an improved 8×8 adaptive MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) equalizer configured within a digital signal processor (DSP) to compensate the effects of transmitter I/Q skew in subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) schemes. The 8×8 MIMO equalizer can be configured such that each of the 8 outputs is electrically coupled to 3 of 8 inputs, wherein each of the input-output couplings is configured as a filter. The method includes compensating for impairments to the digital conversion of an optical input signal via the 8×8 MIMO equalizer following other signal processing steps, such as chromatic dispersion (CD)/polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation, carrier recovery, timing synchronization, and cycle slip correction.

    Abstract: An adaptive demapper adaptively demaps an input symbol. An input symbol is received and demapped in a hard-output demapper to generate a current detected symbol corresponding to a constellation point on a current constellation closest to the input symbol. A corrected inverse of a current noise power estimate is determined by updating a previous noise power estimate based on a difference between the input symbol and the current detected symbol. In a soft-output demapper, a log likelihood ratio corresponding to the current detected symbol is determined based on the corrected inverse of the current noise power estimate. The constellation point in the current constellation corresponding to the current detected symbol is then updated to generate an updated constellation based on a difference between the constellation point and the received input symbol.
