Introduction In the past two decades, Internet traffic has increased by over 10,000 times by taking advantage of both efficient information processing technology in the electronic domain and efficient transmission technology in the optical domain, which are the foundation of today’s Internet infrastructure [1,2]. The advancement of electronics processing circuits has followed Moore’s law, and perhaps will continue this exponential growth for years to come. This may make the electrical systems significantly outpace the advancement of optical systems in information and communications technologies. To support the ever-growing Internet traffic, optical communication systems face a great challenge in transporting information processed by electronic systems for sustained exponential growth. The industry has explored multiple degrees of freedom of the photon (time, wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, and space) to significantly reduce the cost/bit for data transmission by increasing the capacity/fiber through multiplexing and reducing the size and power through integration.

  • Coded Modulation and Impairment Compensation Techniques in Optical Fiber Communication Zhipei Li, Dong Guo and Ran Gao
    Chapter Coded Modulation and Impairment Compensation Techniques in Optical Fiber Communication Zhipei Li, Dong Guo and Ran Gao Abstract This chapter deals with coded modulation and impairment compensation tech- niques in optical fiber communication. Probabilistic shaping is a new coded modu- lation technology, which can reduce transmission power by precoding, reduce bit error rate and improve communication rate. We proposed a probabilistic shaping 16QAM modulation scheme based on trellis coded modulation. Experimental results show that this scheme can achieve better optical SNR gain and BER performance. On the other hand, in order to meet the demand of transmission rate of next generation high speed optical communication systems, multi-dimensional modula- tion and coherent detection are sufficiently applied. The imperfect characteristics of optoelectronic devices and fiber link bring serious impairments to the high baud- rate and high order modulation format signal, causes of performance impairment are analyzed, pre-compensation and receiver side’s DSP techniques designed for coherent systems are introduced. Keywords: Coherent Optical Communication, Coded Modulation, Probabilistic Shaping, Digital Signal Processing, Pre-Compensation, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation 1. Introduction With the rapid development of Internet services, higher requirements are put forward for the transmission rate, system capacity and stability of communication. Optical fiber communication has become one of the main communication methods in the world because of its large transmission bandwidth, long-distance transmission and strong anti-interference ability. The optical fiber communication systems are mainly divided into two types: intensity modulation-direct detection (IM-DD) and coherent optical communica- tion systems. The IM-DD system is mainly used in access networks, passive optical networks (PON) and data centers, and its transmission distance is usually less than 80 km.

To achieve capacity, both coding and shaping gains are required, and they are, in principle, independent. Therefore it makes sense to study shaping and how it can be achieved in various dimensions and how various shaping schemes affect the whole performance in real systems. This thesis investigates the performance of constellation shap- ing methods including geometric shaping (GS) and probabilistic shaping (PS) in coherent fiber-optic systems. To study GS, instead of considering machine learning approaches or optimization of irregular constellations in two dimensions, we have explored multidimensional lattice-based constellations. These constella- tions provide a regular structure with a fast and low-complexity encoding and decoding. In simulations, we show the possibility of transmitting and detecting constellation with a size of more than 1028 points which can be done without a look-up table to store the constellation points.
