摘要:
The invention provides methods, devices and a system for recovering the corrupted subcarrier at the local oscillator (LO) frequency in coherent optical OFDM transmission. The method includes performing advanced coding on a data signal to obtain an encoded signal; performing high order modulation on the encoded signal to obtain a high-order-modulated signal; performing OFDM modulation on the high-order-modulated signal to obtain an electrical OFDM signal; and performing up-conversion on the electrical OFDM signal to obtain an optical OFDM signal to be output. The inventive technique of employing advanced coding with low rate combining with higher order modulation can be used to reduce the decoding bit error ratio (bit error rate) level, so that the LO subcarrier can be fully recovered while the bandwidth of the transmitted signal may be substantially the same as the existing optical OFDM system, and there is no need to add any feedback control module or feedback loop support or the like to the existing optical OFDM system, so that the complexity of the receiving side can be reduced.

A transmitting device, a receiving device, an optical communication system, and associated methods are provided. The transmitting device transmits an optical signal containing data, and comprises: an optical tone generator for generating at least one optical tone; at least one encoder for performing advanced coding on at least one data signal respectively, each of the at least one data signal carrying a part of the data; at least one mapper for performing high order modulation on the at least one coded data signal; and an up-converter for up-converting the at least one high-order-modulated data signal into the optical signal to be outputted through the at least optical tone. Thereby, high speed (e.g., over 1-Tb/s) transmission per single channel over a long-haul distance (e.g. over 1000-km) with error-free recovery may be achieved.

A system and method for generating an optical comb are provided. The system comprises at least one modulator for modulating a continuous wave sequentially by using at least one signal, respectively so as to generate a comb wave having a first plurality of subcarriers; and a nonlinear medium for causing the respective subcarriers of the comb wave to perform four-wave mixing to thereby generate a comb wave having a second plurality of subcarriers as the optical comb. With the present system and method, an ultra-wide spectrum optical comb with stable frequencies may be generated.
