    摘要: A method of optical communication, implemented at a receiver in an optical communication network, includes receiving an optical signal carrying modulated information bits, processing the optical signal through a receiver subsystem to generate a stream of digitized modulation symbols from the optical signal, and producing, using the digitized modulation symbols as input symbols to an iterative process, estimates of information bits. Each iteration includes: generating estimated output symbols from input symbols by filtering by an estimate of inverse of the optical channel, updating, using the estimated output symbols, the estimate of the inverse of the optical channel to minimize a measure of error, and compensating the estimated output symbols by using pre-distortion values from a look-up table (LUT) to generate compensated output symbols that are used as input to a next iteration.

    摘要: A scheme for generating asymmetric single sideband photonic vector signal at millimeter wave spectral region is described. At a transmitter, information bits to be transmitted are modulated using a vector modulation technique to generate a baseband signal. The baseband signal is converted into its single sideband (SSB) version using a complex frequency source having a first frequency. The real part of the upconverted signal is added to the real part of a second frequency source and is input as I component to an I/Q modulator. The imaginary part of the upconverted signal is added to the imaginary part of the second frequency source and is used as the Q component. The I/Q modulator is driven by a laser source at frequency fc. The resulting signal is transmitter over an optical transmission medium and upconverted by a single-ended photodiode to a desired radio-frequency (RF) carrier frequency.

    摘要: Optical signal to noise ratio within a band of interest (in-band OSNR) is calculated by using a reference signal for noise estimation. In-band noise at a node along the optical communication path is estimated by subtracting the reference signal contribution from the received in-band signal energy. Contribution from the reference signal is calculated using an effective transfer function of the optical communication path using either a direct method in which measurements are made a priori on an equivalent optical system or an indirect method in which the effective transfer function is calculated using computerized simulations. The selection of which method to use may be based on the desired resolution bandwidth for the estimation of transfer function.

    摘要: A blind equalization technique of high-order QAM signals is provided. A method implemented at a receiver-side in an optical communication network receives an optical signal and performs a two-step polarization tracking process on the received optical signal. Using another method, a polarization multiplexed optical transmission is received by a receiver and a polarization tracking process is performed by applying two different algorithms in parallel. One algorithm may be a decision directed least means square (DD-LMS) algorithm. Another algorithm may be a constant modulus algorithm (CMA).

    摘要: Modulation and demodulation of digital signals comprising symbols representing four or more bits uses a constellation map in which initial two bits of the modulated data identify a quadrant of the constellation map and the remaining bits of the modulated data identify a symbol within the quadrant corresponding to the four or more data bits. In some systems, the constellation map is made up from each successive two bits of the input data bits successively identifying a quadrant within a quadrant until a group of bits is uniquely mapped to a single symbol.
