Performance Evaluation of Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation Receivers in Lightwave Systems with Optical Amplifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) has been proposed in earlier literature to combat the effects of nonlinear dispersion in intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) optical channels. In this paper, we develop a theory of the bit error rate (BER) of MLSE-based IM/DD receivers operating in the presence of nonlinear dispersion and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise. We focus on long haul or metro links spanning several hundred kilometers of single mode fibers with optical amplifiers. Numerical results show a close agreement between the predictions of the theory and computer simulations. Keywords— Maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE), chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise.

Reduced Complexity Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimator for High-speed Fiber Optic Communication Systems
In this paper we present a new reduced complexity maximum likelihood sequence detector for intensity modulation / direct detection (IM/DD) fiber optic systems. The proposed detector takes into account the presence of thermal and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise. The results presented here show a negligible performance degradation from the optimum receiver, while implementation complex...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of Bayesian Estimation Methods in Estimations of Shift Point and Comparison with MLE Approach
A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential distributions. In This paper, we try to estimate change point which occurs in any sequence of independent exponential observations. The Bayes estimators are derived for change point, the rate of exponential distribution before shift and the rate of exponential distribution after s...

We revisit the problem of evaluating the performances of communication systems with optical amplifiers and a wideband optical filter. We compute the exact probability of error and the optimal threshold and compare them with those predicted by Gaussian approximations for ASK, FSK or DPSK modulations, both for ideal photodetectors and for the case where shot noise is significant.
