摘要:
A digital performance monitoring method and system for an optical communications system utilizes a channel monitor and a digital signal processor (DSP). The channel monitor is designed to monitor a respective channel signal of the optical communications system, and includes a sample memory for storing sample data including a set of sequential N-bit (where N>1) samples generated by an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter at a predetermined sample rate. The digital signal processor (DSP) is designed to calculate at least one performance parameter of the optical communications system based on the stored sample data. The sample rate of the A/D converter is at least equal to a baud rate of the channel, and preferably satisfies the Nyquist criterion. Multiple A/D converters may be used parallel to sample respective orthogonal components of the channel signal. In this case, the stored sample data may be representative of the complex E-field of the channel signal.

摘要:
Optical dispersion imposed on a communications signal conveyed through an optical communications system is compensated by modulating the communications signal in the electrical domain. A compensation function is determined that substantially mitigates the chromatic dispersion. The communications signal is then modulated in the electrical domain using the compensation function. Electrical domain compensation can be implemented in either the transmitter or the receiver end of the communications system. In preferred embodiments, compensation is implemented in the transmitter, using a look-up-table and digital-to-analog converter to generate an electrical predistorted signal. The electrical predistorted signal is then used to modulate an optical source to generate a corresponding predistorted optical signal for transmission through the optical communications system.

摘要:
Polarization Dependent Effects (PDEs), including Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) imposed on optical signals conveyed through an optical link are compensated by processing an input signal in the electrical domain prior to transmission. A compensation function is derived that at least partially compensates the PDEs. The communications signal is then processed in the electrical domain using the compensation function to generate an electrical predistorted signal. The electrical predistorted signal is then used to modulate an optical source to generate a corresponding predistorted optical signal for transmission through the optical link. The PDEs of the optical link operate of the predistorted optical signal such at that substantially undistorted optical signal is received at a receiving end of the link.

摘要:
A method of a conveying data through an optical communications system. An optical signal is received through the optical communication system, the optical signal comprising data symbols and SYNC bursts, each SYNC burst having a predetermined symbol sequence. The received optical signal is oversampled to generate a multi-bit sample stream. The sample stream is partitioned into blocks of contiguous samples, wherein each block of samples partially overlaps at least one other block of samples and encompasses at least one SYNC burst and a plurality of data symbols. Each block of samples is independently processed to detect a value of each data symbol.
摘要:
An optical communications system for conveying traffic through an optical link between transmitting and receiving nodes. The system comprises, for each node, respective legacy and bypass paths coupled in parallel between the optical link and the node. The legacy path of each node includes an optical dispersion compensation block for compensating a respective portion of dispersion of the link. Thus the present invention provides a system architecture by which an optical communications system can be constructed using conventional modulation and optical dispersion compensation technologies. Once installed, system growth can be accommodated using next generation transmitters (with electronic compensation) without stranding the legacy equipment. Legacy channels can also be upgraded to electronic compensation, as desired.

A carrier lock detector for a QPSK or 4-QAM system implements a lock detection algorithm that maps detected signals onto one of first and second areas associated with nominal states defined by (I2⊕I3)·(Q2⊕Q3) and Q1⊕Q2·(I1 I2I3+ I1I2I3)+( I1⊕I2)·(Q1 Q2Q3+ Q1Q2Q3), or alternatively, by ( I1⊕I2· Q2⊕Q3)+( Q1⊕Q2· I2⊕I3), respectively. When detected signals map onto one of the first areas, a first signal is generated. When detected signals map onto one of the second areas, a second signal is generated. When a difference between the first and second signals exceeds a threshold, a carrier lock detection signal is generated to enable a decoder. The carrier lock detector is able to detect carrier lock at a raw BER of 1e-2 or greater at a very low signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要:
Method and apparatus of converting between digital and analogue signal formats, wherein dither signals are combined with information signals to be converted, the dither signals being as a predetermined plurality of particular discrete frequencies that are outside desired information signal bandwidth and have orderly relation including to signal conversion sampling rate, which orderly relation aids looping of sequences of patterns in a related data stream having pattern-to-pattern transitions similar to within-pattern transitions. Specifically, discrete dither signal frequencies have integral relation with their minimum separation or spacing and with said sampling rate, the lowest frequency and the minimum frequency separation each being whole number divisors or submultiples of higher dither frequencies andor of the signal conversion rate.
