Abstract
An apparatus for optical communication and optical communication method are provided, the method comprising the steps of generating an optical signal for transmitting the sequence of information data, transmitting the sequence of information data as a sequence of transmit matrices, S(k) being the k-th transmit matrix and k being a positive integer, and wherein the sequence of transmit matrices is transmitted through an optical channel characterized by a unitary channel matrix H, receiving a sequence of receive matrices, the k-th receive matrix R(k) being expressed as: R(k)=H·S(k)+N(k) wherein k is a positive integer and N(k) is a complex matrix of noise samples and providing a sequence of decision matrices, the k-th decision matrix D(k) being expressed as: D(k)=R(k−1)R(k).
