    摘要: An adaptive equalizer (70) according to this invention includes an adaptive equalization filter (71) configured to adaptively compensate for a waveform distortion caused by a polarization fluctuation of a received signal (61) by updating a tap coefficient, a first tap coefficient updater (72) configured to calculate the tap coefficient according to the polarization fluctuation of the received signal (61) using a variable step size and update the tap coefficient of the adaptive equalization filter (71), a second tap coefficient updater (73) configured to calculate the tap coefficient according to the polarization fluctuation of the received signal (61) using a fixed step size μ0, a polarization state estimator (74) configured to estimate a polarization state of the received signal (61) using the tap coefficient calculated by the second tap coefficient updater (73), and a step size updater (75) configured to obtain the step size corresponding to the polarization state estimated by the polarization state estimator (74) and update the variable step size. According to this invention, it is possible to provide an adaptive equalizer that always implements stable followability to various SOP fluctuations.

    摘要: A tap-coefficient control circuit sets the tap coefficient converged by the second tap coefficient updater as an initial value of the tap coefficient in the first digital filter which is to be updated by the first tap coefficient updater, arranges the tap coefficients converged by the second tap coefficient updater in descending order of contribution degree to the convergence operation of tap coefficient update in the first tap coefficient updater, judges the tap coefficient not less than upper specified number to be valid and the tap coefficient less than the specified number to be invalid, and sets the tap coefficient of the first digital filter corresponding to the tap coefficient judged to be invalid to zero not to be used in a calculation of the first tap coefficient updater until a next judgment result is made.

    摘要: Communication of light signals and optical cables can be managed to mitigate error associated with using optical cables to communicate light signals. A communication management component (CMC) can embed respective timing synchronization pulses in respective lights signals having respective wavelengths. The light signals can be typical light signals or can be squeezed and twisted to generate a desired twisted light signal. The light signals can be transmitted via the optical cable to a receiver. A CMC, at the receiver end, can determine error associated with the transmission of the light signals via the optical cable and respective characteristics of the respective light signals, including respective arrival times of the respective timing synchronization pulses and respective light intensity or power levels of the respective light signals. From the respective characteristics, CMC can determine a compensation action to perform mitigate the error with regard to subsequent transmissions of light signals.
