Abstract
Self-coherent transmission systems require only a single-ended photodetector for optical field recovery, dramatically reducing receiver complexity compared to coherent detection systems. Nevertheless, a photodetector with a bandwidth comparable to the symbol rate of the signal is still required in such systems. A real-valued modulation direct detection system based on a half-symbol-rate receiver is a promising solution that reduces the required receiver bandwidth half of the symbol rate. In this paper, we applied a two-stage linearization filter to this system for the first time to suppress signal-signal beat interference(SSBI), and further proposed a three-stage linearization filter algorithm to eliminate SSBI more effectively. The two algorithms were validated in a 28 Gbaud self-coherent system with a half-symbol-rate receiver using four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4). Simulations demonstrated that the two-stage and three-stage linearization filter schemes can achieve approximately 1 dB and 2 dB improvements in OSNR sensitivity at the 7 % HD-FEC threshold for 80 km transmission, compared to the single-stage approach, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
