Blind Polarization Demultiplexing of Shaped QAM Signals Assisted by Temporal Correlations

While probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) enables rate and reach adaption with finer granularity [1] (Cho and Winzer, 2009), it imposes signal processing challenges at the receiver. Since the distribution of PCS-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals tends to be Gaussian, conventional blind polarization demultiplexing algorithms...

Deep Neural Network-Based Digital Pre-distortion for High Baudrate Optical Coherent Transmission

High-symbol-rate coherent optical transceivers suffer more from the critical responses of transceiver components at high frequency, especially when applying a higher order modulation format. Recently, we proposed in [20] a neural network (NN)-based digital pre-distortion (DPD) technique trained to mitigate the transceiver response of a 128...
