摘要:
A method for determining symbols PSK modulated on an optical carrier includes interfering a first polarization component of the modulated optical carrier and a reference optical carrier in a first optical mixer and interfering the first polarization component of the modulated optical carrier and the reference with a different relative phase in a second optical mixer. The method also includes sampling the interfered carriers from the first optical mixer to produce first digital sampled values and sampling the interfered carriers from the second optical mixer to produce second digital sampled values. The first and second digital sampled values of a sampling period form a first complex sampling value thereof. The method also includes offsetting a phase of a complex signal value corresponding to each first complex sampling value to correct for a phase error caused by a frequency offset between the modulated and reference optical carriers.

A receiver for coherent detection of a PSK modulated optical carrier includes an optical detector, digital-to-analog converters, and a digital module. The optical detector is configured to mix the modulated optical carrier with two phase components of a reference optical carrier and to produce analog output signals representative of optical signals produced by said mixing. The digital-to-analog converters are connected to receive the analog output signals and to produce digital signals from the received analog output signals. The digital module is connected to receive the digital signals and to perform one of compensating the received digital signals for a conjugate phase misalignment between the mixed components, extracting phase of the received digital signals, and estimating a frequency offset between the two carriers from the received digital signals.

An adaptive optical parallel equalizer architecture is based on a controllable optical FIR filter device to realize an optical FIR (finite-impulse-response) filter including a plurality of coefficient taps in order to have independent control of each optical FIR filter coefficient. A unique adaptive opto-electronic LMS (least mean square) process is utilized to generate an electronic error signal utilized to control the plurality of parallel tap coefficients of the optical parallel equalizer. The electronic error signal is used as the optimization criterion because the electronic signal after photo-detection is needed to achieve any measurable performance in terms of bit error rate (BER). In a specific embodiment, the controllable optical parallel FIR filter is realized by employing an optical vector modulator. The optical vector modulator is realized by splitting a supplied input optical signal into a plurality of parallel similar optical signals, controllably adjusting the phase and/or amplitude of each of the plurality of optical signals and delaying the resulting optical signals in a prescribed manner relative to one another. Then, the “delayed” signals are combined to yield the optical signal comprising the vector modulated input optical signal to be transmitted as an output. In one particular embodiment, both the phase and amplitude is adjusted of each of the plurality of parallel optical signals, and the error control signals for effecting the adjustments are generated in response to the optical FIR filter optical output signal utilizing the unique opto-electronic LMS process.
