Abstract:
A method implemented in a transmission apparatus used in an optical fiber communications system for a polarization switched differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signal is disclosed. The method comprises splitting data into two or more data streams, inputting said two or more data streams to 1-bit DQPSK precoders to perform 1-bit DQPSK precoding, and multiplexing inphase outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a first output; and multiplexing quadrature outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a second output. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method includes evaluating an optical signal spectrum for estimated filtering parameters of an optical spectral filtering device for shaping optical signal spectrum, determining a feedback for fine tuning the optical spectral filtering device for nonlinearity tolerance enhancement in the optical transmission system, responsive to received optical signal quality in the optical signal spectrum; and using the feedback to adjust said optical spectral filtering device for predetermined shaping and predetermined fiber nonlinearity tolerance in the optical transmission system.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a novel computer implemented method for finding a modulation format that has better receiver sensitivity than modulation formats that are currently being used, with a correlated symbol modulation in which neighboring symbols are coded and decoded together to increase receiver sensitivity.

Abstract:
Methods, structures and systems for generating different polarization multiplexed signals wherein the drivers of the modulators are generic while a software-controlled manager allows the carrying of any standard 10 G/40 G/100 G data while—at the same time—being adaptively adjustable according to specific link requirements and users' requests in both dispersion-managed and uncompensated links.
