    摘要: A space division multiplexed (SDM) transmission system that includes at least two segments of transmission media in which a spatial assignment of the two segments is different is provided. For example, the SDM transmission may include a first segment of transmission media having a first spatial assignment and a second segment of transmission media having a second spatial assignment, wherein the first spatial assignment differs from the second spatial assignment. An example method obtains an optical signal on a first segment of transmission media having a first spatial assignment and forwards the optical signal on a second segment of transmission media with a different spatial assignment. The transmission media may be a multi-core fiber (MCF), a multi-mode fiber (MMF), a few-mode fiber (FMF), or a ribbon cable comprising nominally uncoupled single-mode fiber (SMF).

    摘要: In one embodiment, a coherent optical receiver has a digital signal processor that processes one or more digital I/Q-signal pairs to recover data carried by a modulated optical signal in a manner that mitigates, based on calibration data retrieved from a memory or on appropriate performance measures and feedback mechanisms, the detrimental effects of frequency-dependent imbalances between the I and Q sub-channels of at least one of the I/Q channels of the receiver. In various embodiments, the calibration data can be generated and written into the memory at the fabrication facility or in situ while the receiver is being operated in a calibration mode. Alternatively or in addition, the calibration data can be generated and dynamically adjusted online during normal operation of the receiver.

    摘要: An example apparatus comprises an optical transmitter which includes a first processor and at least two optical modulators. The first processor is configured to generate a first electronic representation for each of at least two optical signals for carrying payload data modulated according to a one-dimensional (1-D) modulation format, and to induce on respective ones of the first electronic representations an amount of dispersion that depends on a power-weighted accumulated dispersion (ADPW) of a transmission link through which the at least two optical signals are to be transmitted thereby generating complex-valued electronic representations of pre-dispersion-compensated optical signals. Each of the at least two optical modulators modulate a respective analog version corresponding to a respective one of the complex-valued electronic representations onto a polarization of an optical carrier.

    摘要: Return To Zero (RZ) shaping is performed for a first I/Q modulator whose output corresponds to a first polarization component using a first two digital-to-analog convertors (DACs), each of which is sampled at approximately twice a modulation symbol rate or more and has an output with a first interleaving order that interleaves one of a first pair of intended drive signal patterns and zeros. RZ shaping is also performed for a second I/Q modulator whose output corresponds to a second polarization component using a second two DACs, each sampled at approximately twice the modulation symbol rate or more and having a second interleaving order that interleaves zeros and one of a second pair of intended drive signal patterns, the second interleaving order opposite the first interleaving order. The first polarization and the second polarization may be combined, thereby forming an Interleaved Return To Zero (IRZ) Polarization Division Multiplexed (PDM) signal.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an optical transmission system transmits data using a format according to which a data frame has two or more pilot-symbol blocks, each having a guard interval, and two or more payload-symbol blocks that are concatenated without a guard interval between them. The use of guard intervals in the pilot-symbol blocks helps the synchronization and channel-estimation procedures performed at a receiver of the optical transmission system to be robust in the presence of certain transmission impairments. The absence of guard intervals in the payload-symbol blocks helps to minimize the transmission overhead and thus achieve relatively high payload-data throughput. Pilot-symbol blocks have a structure that enables the receiver to determine channel-response characteristics for each data frame and then apply appropriate channel-response-compensation procedures to signals corresponding to the payload-symbol blocks of the frame to recover, with a relatively low bit-error rate, the data encoded in those signals.
