<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Coherent optical transmission systems have a four-dimensional (4–D) signal space (two quadratures in two polarizations). These four dimensions can be used to create modulation formats that better power efficiency (higher sensitivity) than the conventional binary phase shift keying/quadrature keying (BPSK/QPSK) signals. Several examples are given, with some emphasis on 24-level format and an...

The FEC limit paradigm is the prevalent practice for designing optical communication systems to attain a certain bit error rate (BER) without forward correction (FEC). This assumes that there an code will reduce BER after decoding desired level. In this paper, we challenge and show concept of channel-independent invalid soft-decision bit-wise decoding. It shown low rates high-order modulation formats, use can underestimate spectral efficiencies by up 20%. A better predictor generalized...

The implementation difficulties of combining distribution matching (DM) and dematching (invDM) for probabilistic shaping (PS) with soft-decision forward error correction (FEC) coding can be relaxed by reverse concatenation, which the FEC decoding lies inside algorithms. PS seemingly achieve performance close to Shannon limit, although there are practical challenges that need carefully addressed. We propose a hierarchical DM (HiDM) scheme, having fully parallelized input-output interfaces...

With the continuously growing popularity of cloud services, traffic volume inside data centers is dramatically increasing. As a result, scalable and efficient infrastructure for center networks (DCNs) required. The current optical DCNs using either individual fibers or fiber ribbons are costly, bulky, hard to manage, not scalable.

Most of the calculations in standard sphere decoders are redundant, sense that they either calculate quantities never used or some more than once. A new method, which is applicable to lattices as well finite constellations, proposed avoid these redundant while still returning same result. Pseudocode given facilitate immediate implementation.

Coded modulation (CM) is the combination of forward error correction (FEC) and multilevel constellations. Coherent optical communication systems result in a four-dimensional (4D) signal space, which naturally leads to 4D-CM transceivers. A practically attractive design paradigm use bit-wise decoder, where detection process (suboptimally) separated into two steps: soft-decision demapping followed by binary decoding. In this paper, decoders are studied from an information-theoretic viewpoint....
