Joint nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion pre-compensation for coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems

This paper introduces a joint nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion pre-compensation method for coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The research results show that this method can reduce the walk- off effect and can therefore equalize the nonlinear impairments effectively. Compared with the only other existing nonlinearity pre-compensation method, the joint nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion pre-compensation method is not only suitable for low-dispersion optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system, but also effective for high- dispersion optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing transmission system with higher input power but without optical dispersion compensation. The suggested solution does not increase computation complexity compared with only nonlinearity pre-compensation method. For 40 Gbit/s coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing 20 × 80 km standard single-mode fibre system, the suggested method can improve the nonlinear threshold （for Q 〉 10 dB） about 2.7, 1.2 and 1.0 dB, and the maximum Q factor about 1.2, 0.4 and 0.3 dB, for 2, 8 and 16 ps/（nm.km） dispersion coefficients.

Improved pilot data aided feed forward based on maximum likelihood for carrier phase jitter recovery in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

Pilot data aided feed forward （PAFF） carrier recovery is essential for phase noise tracking in coherent optical receivers. This paper describes a new PAFF system based on new pilot arrangement and maximum likelihood （ML） to estimate the phase jitter in coherent receiver- induced by local oscillator＇s lasers and sampling clock errors. Square M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation （M-QAM） （4, 16, 64, and 256） schemes were used. A detailed mathematical description of the method was presented. The system performance was evaluated through numerical simulations and compared to those with noisefree receiver （ideal receiver） and feed forward without ML. The simulation results show that PAFF performs near the expected ideal phase recovery. Results clearly suggest that ML significantly improves the tolerance of phase error variance. From bit error rate （BER） sensibility evaluation, it was clearly observed that the new estimation method performs better with a 4-QAM （or quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK）） format compared to three others square QAM schemes. Analog to digital converter （ADC） resolution effect on the system performance was analyzed in terms of Q-factor. Finite resolution effect on 4-QAM is negligible while it negatively affects the system performance when M increases.

Flipped-Exponential Nyquist Pulse Technique to Optimize PAPR in Optical Direct-Detection OFDM Systems

In this paper, we describe a novel technique based on the flipped-exponential （FE） Nyquist pulse method for reducing peak-to-average power ratio （PAPR） in an optical direct-detection orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing （DD-QFDM） system, The technique involves proper selection of the FE Nyquist pulses for shaping the different subcarriers of the OFDM.

Joint timing and frequency synchronization in coherent optical OFDM systems

In this paper,we review our joint timing and frequency synchronization algorithms in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CO-OFDM)systems.We first present a timing estimation method by designing the pattern of the training symbol,whose timing metric has a sharp and clear peak,to ensure accurate timing offset(TO)estimation performance.Then we provide both data-aided(DA)and blind(BL)approaches to estimate the carrier frequency offset(CFO).For the DA algorithm,we utilize the same training symbol structure as the timing estimation does,while for the BL algorithm,we utilize the zero-subcarrier power(ZSP)to achieve full-range CFO estimation.Note that our joint timing and frequency synchronization approaches require only one OFDM symbol,which ensure not only the data transmission efficiency,but also the TO and CFO estimation performance.A modified BL ZSP algorithm is proposed to further improve the CFO estimation performance by taking the power average over a series of OFDM symbols.The effectiveness of the TO estimation algorithm,and both the DA and BL CFO estimation algorithms are verified and demonstrated in both simulations and experiments.

Fiber Nonlinearity Mitigation by Improved Zero-Interpolation Method in Coherent Optical OFDM Systems

An improved zero-interpolation method with signal clipping to improve fiber nonlinearity tolerance in the long-haul coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system （CO-OFDM） is presented. The new technique is implemented by interpolating zero subcarriers and selecting the odd subcarriers to carry data and clipping conventional CO-OFDM signal at zero. With such a scheme,the effect of fiber nonlinearity can be miti-gated,and the wanted signal carried on odd subcarriers is or-thogonal to clipping noise,which falls on even frequencies. Simu-lation shows that the system Q value is improved by more than 2 dB at the length of 960 km

Timing synchronization algorithm based on FH sequence for coherent optical OFDM systems with carrier frequency offset

A novel symbol timing synchronization algorithm based on Frank-Hermiller(FH) sequence is proposed for coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(CO-OFDM) systems with carrier frequency offset. The timing synchronization is realized by using only one training symbol which is composed of conjugated symmetric sequences.The timing estimation of the proposed algorithm is robust to poor frequency offset. The proposed algorithm is shown to eliminate the timing sidelobes of Park’s algorithm and has a more accurate timing estimation. In the condition of frequency offset, the timing metric of the proposed method still maintains its peak value at the correct timing point,while the values are almost zero at all other positions.
