Enabling Technologies for High Spectral-efficiency Coherent Optical
Communication Networks
Presents the technological advancements that enable high
spectral-efficiency and high-capacity fiber-optic communication systems
and networks
This book examines key technology advances in high spectral-efficiency
fiber-optic communication systems and networks, enabled by the use of
coherent detection and digital signal processing (DSP). The first of
this book's 16 chapters is a detailed introduction. Chapter 2 reviews
the modulation formats, while Chapter 3 focuses on detection and error
correction technologies for coherent optical communication systems.
Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to Nyquist-WDM and orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). In chapter 6, polarization and
nonlinear impairments in coherent optical communication systems are
discussed. The fiber nonlinear effects in a non-dispersion-managed
system are covered in chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes linear impairment
equalization and Chapter 9 discusses various nonlinear mitigation
techniques. Signal synchronization is covered in Chapters 10 and 11.
Chapter 12 describes the main constraints put on the DSP algorithms by
the hardware structure. Chapter 13 addresses the fundamental concepts
and recent progress of photonic integration. Optical performance
monitoring and elastic optical network technology are the subjects of
Chapters 14 and 15. Finally, Chapter 16 discusses spatial-division
multiplexing and MIMO processing technology, a potential solution to
solve the capacity limit of single-mode fibers.
- Contains basic theories and up-to-date technology advancements in each
chapter
