    摘要: Methods and apparatus of performing polarization control for optical transmissions. The methods and apparatus enable polarization control devices to achieve a desired output state of polarization regardless of the input state of polarization. The desired state of polarization can be achieved by rotating waveplates in a polarization controller in a sequential fashion. Each waveplate may be continually adjusted or dithered so long as the feedback signal satisfies a feedback condition. Once the feedback signal exceeds the feedback condition, the next waveplate in the polarization controller is adjusted. This enables the methods and apparatus to rapidly adjust the state of polarization away from dead spots and minimize loss control problems.

    摘要: A detection system and method may be used to detect data transmitted in a signal with data pattern dependent signal distortion. In general, a detection system and method compares samples of a received signal with stored samples of distorted signals associated with known data patterns and selects the known data patterns that correspond most closely with the samples of the received signal. The detection system and method may thus mitigate the effects of data pattern dependent signal distortion.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for compensating for dispersion in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication system. The system includes a transmitting and receiving terminal for transmitting and receiving, respectively, an optical signal having a plurality of channels, and an optical fiber transmission path coupling the first and second terminals. The fiber transmission path has a dispersion substantially equal to zero for a selected channel, positive dispersion for a first set of channels, and negative dispersion for a second set of channels. The method begins by providing positive dispersion compensation to the second set of channels at one of the terminals. Negative dispersion compensation is provided to the first set of channels, also at one of the terminals.

    摘要: A soft decision threshold control system and method may be used with a forward error correction (FEC) scheme to adjust or tune one or more soft decision thresholds in response to one or more bit value averages for the threshold(s) and in response to a bit error rate (BER). The bit value average for a soft decision threshold generally refers to an average number of binary values (e.g., logic ones and/or zeros) occurring in a bit stream detected using the soft decision threshold. For different BER levels in a particular system, for example, one or more of the soft decision thresholds may have a predetermined bit value average, which has been determined to provide a certain level of performance (e.g., an optimum performance). Thus, one or more of the soft decision thresholds may be adjusted such that the bit value averages for the soft decision thresholds are adjusted as a function of the BER. The settings of the soft decision thresholds may also be adjusted in response to changes in a signal amplitude of the input signal being detected.

    摘要: The soft decision thresholds in a soft decision forward error correction (FEC) system may be adjusted based on mutual information of a detected signal. In one embodiment, a recursive algorithm may be used to optimize threshold values by maximizing the mutual information. In another embodiment, an adaptive scheme may be used to optimize threshold values based on a pre-knowledge of the noise in the channel. In a further embodiment, an adaptive scheme may be used to optimize threshold values by without pre-knowledge of the noise in the channel.

    摘要: A method for designing an optical system is disclosed. The optical system launches optical signals modulated with data into a fiber link having a property of inducing nonlinear distortion of the optical signals as a function of signal power of the optical signals and distance traversed in the fiber link. A Q-factor curve for the fiber link is determined as a function of the signal power. A signal power is preselected based on the Q-factor curve. The preselected signal power is associated with a set of channels. A coding gain is preselected based on the preselected signal power and a desired channel spacing for the set of channels.
