    Abstract: A receiver convolves an impulse response for compensating for frequency characteristics and a complex impulse response for wavelength dispersion compensation with each of a real component and an imaginary component of each polarized wave of a reception signal. For each polarized wave, the receiver performs complex signal processing of multiplying the imaginary component by the imaginary unit, then branching the resulting component, and adding one imaginary component to the real component. For each polarized wave, the receiver uses, as input signals, the real component and the imaginary component of each polarized wave after complex signal processing and the phase conjugates of them. For each polarized wave, the receiver adds a signal obtained by a process in which each of the real component and the imaginary component of each polarized wave is multiplied by a complex impulse response, the resulting components are added, and a phase rotation is applied and a signal obtained by a process in which each of the phase conjugate of the real component and the phase conjugate of the imaginary component of each polarized wave is multiplied by a complex impulse response, the resulting components are added, and an opposite phase rotation is applied, and adds a transmission data bias correction signal.

    Abstract: A receiver is provided for processing an input signal from a communication network. The receiver includes a processor and a memory configured to store computer executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to (i) receive an input data signal including digital bit information, (ii) code the input data signal into a plurality of multi-level symbols, (iii) map the plurality of multi-level symbols into a plurality of constellation points in the phase domain, (iv) execute a first phase recovery subprocess on the plurality of constellation points to recover a first carrier phase of the input signal, (v) implement a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) on the recovered first carrier phase to generate an enhanced recovered carrier phase, and (vi) process the enhanced recovered carrier phase with a second phase recovery subprocess to reduce distortion from the input signal.

    Abstract: An optical signal processing method and a coherent receiver, wherein an in-phase signal XI in a first polarization direction and an in-phase signal YI in a second polarization direction are added up to obtain a signal I; a quadrature signal XQ in the first polarization direction and a quadrature signal YQ in the second polarization direction are added up to obtain a signal Q; and quantization, combination, and digital signal processing are performed on the I and the Q. After summation, two signals need to be quantized. Therefore, a quantity of ADCs is reduced by half. In addition, because power consumption of a summation component is less than that of an ADS, power consumption of optical signal processing can be reduced. In addition, because there is a preset value, the summation may be performed after phase-inversion is performed on one analog signal, thereby avoiding a signal loss caused by the summation.

    Abstract: In a coherent receiver of an optical communication system, a method of processing a detected symbol estimate to determine a most likely value of a corresponding transmitted data word, the transmitted data word comprising one or more data bits encoded in a transmitter using a predetermined constellation of at least two symbols. A set of two or more virtual constellation points are define in a decision region corresponding to a possible value of the data word. The detected symbol estimate is processed to find a most likely virtual constellation point given the detected symbol estimate. The most likely value of the corresponding transmitted data word is determined based on the most likely virtual constellation point.
