A novel and simple photonic vector signal generation scheme at radio frequency (RF) bands enabled by a single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM)-based optical carrier suppression (OCS) without precoding techniques and optical filter, which can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing (DSP), is described. The generation and reception of 16/20/22-Gbaud quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) vector signals at 16/20/22 GHz are experimentally demonstrated, respectively. The measured bit-error ratio for 16G-baud QPSK vector signals after transmitting over 10-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) can be under 7% hard-decision forward-error-correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8&#xd7;10. Moreover, compared to the conventional precoding scheme, the receiver sensitivity can be enhanced by 4 dB at both back-to-back (BTB) and after 10-km SSMF transmission cases, which demonstrates the feasibility of this technique, and show its potential promising application in radio over fiber (RoF) system.

Photonic vector signal generation without precoding

Provided are methods and systems for receiving and processing optical signals. A dual single side band (SSB) modulation scheme is utilized to take advantage of a given wavelengths' bandwidth. Modulation schemes are employed that modulate each SSB with their In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) components. The methods and systems discussed utilize an adaptive equalizer and an LMS algorithm to remove imaging components of the left and right SSBs provided by the modulators. The adaptive equalizer and the LMS algorithm also compensate for linear and nonlinear distortions. Various algorithms can be employed, including but not limited to, algorithms for updating crosstalk coefficients in the equalizer, where the cross talk coefficients are induced from the imaging from the modulation of the dual SSB signal, and for updating coefficients relating to linear and nonlinear distortion.

Provided are methods and systems for receiving and processing optical signals are provided. A dual single side band (SSB) modulation scheme is utilized to take advantage of given wavelengths' bandwidth. Modulation schemes are employed that modulate each SSB with their In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) components. The methods and systems discussed perform MIMO de-multiplexing algorithms to remove any imaging components of the left and right SSBs provided by the modulators. Various algorithms can be employed, including but not limited to inserting time interleaved training sequences into the channels of the right and left SSB signals or by employing a constant-modulus-algorithm (CMA) de-multiplexing.

Techniques for receiving a modulated optical signal which has undergone a digital Fourier transform spreading (DFTS), include generating digital samples of the modulated optical signal, performing resampling and synchronization of the digital samples to generate time-corrected digital samples from an input wireless signal, compensating the time-corrected digital samples for nonlinearity (NL) to produce NL-compensated digital samples, de-spreading the NL-compensated digital samples using an inverse digital Fourier transform to recover quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulated signals, applying post-equalization to the QAM signals to generate equalized QAM signals, performing a decision directed least mean square (DD-LMS) equalization to generate blind-optimized QAM signals and demodulating the blind-optimized QAM signals to recover data bits.
