Addendum to “ Feedforward Carrier Recovery for Coherent Optical Communications
نویسنده
چکیده
In a previous paper [1], we noted when the transmitted signal constellations has rotational symmetry, laser phase noise can be mitigated using non-data-aided (NDA) feedforward (FF) carrier recovery. The structures of a FF carrier recovery unit and a NDA soft-decision phase estimator were shown in Fig. 3 and 4(a), respectively. We have found that in an NDA FF carrier recovery unit, the order of the linear filter and phase estimator can be exchanged in a manner not possible with a decision-directed (DD) FF carrier recovery unit. We show that this alternative NDA (ANDA) FF carrier recovery unit exhibits better immunity to cycle slips compared to standard NDA.

Synchronous Demodulation of Coherent 16-QAM with Feedforward Carrier Recovery
Coherent optical transmission allows for improved bandwidth utilization and impairment compensation of existing optical fiber links and is a key for future communication systems with transmission rates of 112 Gb/s and above. In recent years quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) was the preferred modulation format because of its robustness on long-haul links [1]–[3]. However, for metropolitan are...
متن کاملHardware-Efficient Coherent Digital Receiver Concept With Feedforward Carrier Recovery for -QAM Constellations
This paper presents a novel digital feedforward carrier recovery algorithm for arbitrary -ary quadrature amplitude modulation ( -QAM) constellations in an intradyne coherent optical receiver. The approach does not contain any feedback loop and is therefore highly tolerant against laser phase noise. This is crucial, especially for higher order QAM constellations, which inherently have a smaller ...
متن کاملPDL-impaired coherent optical communication systems: BER vs information-theory limit
In coherent optical communications, PDL is one of the major linear impairments that can seriously impact systems performance. From an information-theoretic point of view, said PDL has to be analyzed through the so-called outage probability. After deriving this outage probability in closed-form expression for various statistical PDL models, we check these models’ accuracy numerically against a p...
متن کاملCoherent Optical Communications: Historical Perspectives and Future Directions
Coherent optical fiber communications were studied extensively in the 1980s mainly because high sensitivity of coherent receivers could elongate the unrepeated transmission distance; however, their research and development have been interrupted for nearly 20 years behind the rapid progress in high-capacity wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems using erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs)...
متن کاملComprehensive study of CD compensation and carrier phase estimation in optical communication systems influenced by equalization enhanced phase noise
The performance of long-haul coherent optical fiber transmission system is significantly affected by the equalization enhanced phase noise (EEPN), due to the interaction between the electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) and the laser phase noise. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on different chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation and carrier phase recovery (CPR) approaches, in...
