The performance of a wideband coherent receiver was investigated. The relative impact of digital pre-distortion, geometric constellation shaping and pilot sequence detection, as well as the number …
This paper presents design methods for highly efficient optimisation of geometrically shaped constellations to maximise data throughput in optical communications. It describes methods to analytical…
Carrier phase estimation (CPE) is one of the key requirements to perform intradyne coherent detection in optical communication systems. Residual errors in the phase estimation at the receiver, also…
We investigate high-throughput, multi-band transmission in a 4-core multi-core fiber (MCF) with the same 125 μm cladding diameter of standard single-mode fiber (SMF). A single wideband comb source…
Fiber nonlinearities, that lead to nonlinear signal distortion, are normally considered to be the result of an instantaneous material response with respect to the optical field. However, in additio…
In this article, we propose a geometric shaping (GS) strategy to design 8, 16, 32, and 64-ary modulation formats for the optical fibre channel impaired by both additive white Gaussian (AWGN) and ph…
We introduce PULSE, a sub-μs optical circuit switched data centre network architecture controlled by distributed hardware schedulers. PULSE is a flat architecture that uses parallel passive couple…
