    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for dual-polarisation SDM transmission over optical fibre. The transmission method uses specific I/Q coding for combating the effects of PDL. The modulation symbols to be transmitted on the 2N polarisation states of the N wavelengths are broken down into real values and imaginary values (220). A first orthogonal linear transformation (230-1) is applied to the vector of the real values thus obtained and a second orthogonal linear transformation (230-2), separate from the first, is applied to the vector of the imaginary values thus obtained. A complex scalar solving an irreducible polynome of [X] in is multiplied with the first or second transformed vector before the two transformed vectors are summed (240) in order to provide a vector of transmission symbols for modulating the different states of polarisation of the spatial elementary channels.

    摘要: In part, in one aspect, the disclosure relates to a system including an integrated optical multiplexer. The integrated optical multiplexer may include a plurality of optical inputs configured and constructed to receive input optical signals; two or more stages of multiplexing in a cascading configuration, wherein the two or more stages of multiplexing are divided into wavelength stages and a last stage, wherein each of the wavelength stages combine subsets of input optical signals by wavelength, the last stage combines input optical signals by polarization using a polarization beam combiner, and at a combined output of the integrated optical multiplexer a first subset of the input optical signals have a different polarization than a second subset of the input optical signals.

    摘要: A digital receiver is configured to process a polarization multiplexed carrier from a communication network. The polarization multiplexed carrier includes a first polarization and a second polarization. The receiver includes a first lane for transporting a first input signal of the first polarization, a second lane for transporting a second input signal of the second polarization, a dynamic phase noise estimation unit disposed within the first lane and configured to determine a phase noise estimate of the first input signal, a first carrier phase recovery portion configured to remove carrier phase noise from the first polarization based on a combination of the first input signal and a function of the determined phase noise estimate, and a second carrier phase recovery portion configured to remove carrier phase noise from the second polarization based on a combination of the second input signal and the function of the determined phase noise estimate.

    摘要: A method for measuring polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of an optical link segment. The method has the steps of: measuring powers of first and second pilot tones (PTs) in a polarization-multiplexed (PM) optical signal at first and second link locations at or about an input and an output end of the optical link segment, respectively, the PM optical signal having first and second optical signals with orthogonal polarizations and amplitude-modulated by the first and second PTs, respectively; calculating a first orthogonal polarization power ratio (OPPR) of the first and second PTs using the powers thereof measured at the first link location; calculating a second OPPR of the first and second PTs using the powers thereof measured at the second link location; and calculating the PDL of the optical link segment based on a comparison between the first and second OPPRs.
