- An optical phase noise suppression algorithm, LI-SCPEC, based on phase linear interpolation and sub-symbol processing is proposed for CO-OFDM system. By increasing the temporal resolution of carrier phase tracking through dividing one symbol into several sub-blocks, i.e., sub-symbols, inter-carrier-interference (ICI) mitigation is achieved in the proposed algorithm. Linear interpolation is employed to obtain a reliable temporal reference for sub-symbol phase estimation. The new algorithm, with only a few number of sub-symbols (N-B = 4), can provide a considerably larger laser linewidth tolerance than several other ICI mitigation algorithms as demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations. Numerical analysis verifies that the best performance is achieved with an optimal and moderate number of sub-symbols. Complexity analysis shows that the required number of complex-valued multiplications is independent of the number of sub-symbols used in the proposed algorithm. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America

- Two linewidth-tolerant optical phase noise suppression algorithms, non-decision aided sub-symbol optical phase noise suppression (NDA-SPS) and partial-decision aided sub-symbol optical phase noise suppression (PDA-SPS), based on low-complexity time domain sub-symbol processing are proposed for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. High accuracy carrier phase estimation is achieved in the NDA-SPS algorithm without decision error propagation. Compared with NDA-SPS, partial-decision aided estimation is introduced in PDA-SPS to reduce the pilot-overhead by half, yet only a small performance degradation is induced. The principles and computational complexities of the proposed algorithms are theoretically analyzed. By adopting specially designed comb-type pilot subcarriers, multiplier-free observation-based matrix generation is realized in the proposed algorithms. Computationally intensive discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or inverse DFT (IDFT) operations, which are usually carried out in other high-performance inter-carrier-interference (ICI) mitigation algorithms multiple times, are completely avoided. Compared with several other sub-symbol algorithms, the proposed algorithms with lower complexities offer considerably larger laser linewidth tolerances as demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations. Numerical analysis verifies that the optimal performance of PDA-SPS can be achieved with moderate numbers of sub-symbols.

- A low-complexity optical phase noise suppression approach based on recursive principal components elimination, R-PCE, is proposed and theoretically derived for CO-OFDM systems. Through frequency domain principal components estimation and elimination, signal distortion caused by optical phase noise is mitigated by R-PCE. Since matrix inversion and domain transformation are completely avoided, compared with the case of the orthogonal basis expansion algorithm (L = 3) that offers a similar laser linewidth tolerance, the computational complexities of multiple principal components estimation are drastically reduced in the R-PCE by factors of about 7 and 5 for q = 3 and 4, respectively. The feasibility of optical phase noise suppression with the R-PCE and its decision-aided version (DA-R-PCE) in the QPSK/16QAM CO-OFDM system are demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations, which verify that R-PCE with only a few number of principal components q (= 3) provides a significantly larger laser linewidth tolerance than conventional algorithms, including the common phase error compensation algorithm and linear interpolation algorithm. Numerical results show that the optimal performance of R-PCE and DA-R-PCE can be achieved with a moderate q, which is beneficial for low-complexity hardware implementation.

- This paper proposes a grid topology based passive optical interconnect (POI) architecture that is composed of multiple floors of arrayed waveguide grating routers (AWGRs) to offer high connectivity and scalability for datacenter networks. In the proposed POI signal only needs to pass one AWGR, and thus can avoid the crosstalk accumulation and cascaded filtering effects, which exist in many existing POI architectures based on cascaded AWGRs. Meanwhile, due to high connectivity, the proposed grid topology based POI also has the potential advantage of high reliability. Simulation results validate the network performance. With a proper node degree, the proposed grid topology can achieve acceptable blocking probability. Besides, steady performance is kept when the number of floors increases, indicating good scalability of the proposed POI.

- In this paper, a novel flex-grid all-optical interconnect scheme that supports transparent multi-hop connections in data centers is proposed. An inter-rack all-optical multi-hop connection is realized with an optical loop employed at flex-grid wavelength selective switches (WSSs) in an intermediate rack rather than by relaying through optical-electric-optical (O-E-O) conversions. Compared with the conventional O-E-O based approach, the proposed all-optical scheme is able to off-load the traffic at intermediate racks, leading to a reduction of the power consumption and cost. The transmission performance of the proposed flex-grid multi-hop all-optical interconnect scheme with various modulation formats, including both coherently detected and directly detected approaches, are investigated by Monte-Carlo simulations. To enhance the spectrum efficiency (SE), number-of-hop adaptive bandwidth allocation is introduced. Numerical results show that the SE can be improved by up to 33.3% at 40 Gbps, and by up to 25% at 100 Gbps. The impact of parameters, such as targeted bit error rate (BER) level and insertion loss of components, on the transmission performance of the proposed approach are also explored. The results show that the maximum SE improvement of the adaptive approach over the non-adaptive one is enhanced with the decrease of the targeted BER levels and the component insertion loss.

- A hybrid routing scheme with an adaptive spectrum assignment is proposed for flex-grid all-optical core switch supporting multihop transparent paths in data center networks. Compared with conventional spectrum assignment algorithms (RSA) developed for a multihop network with optical-electric-optical (OEO) conversion in every hop (i.e., RSA for EO) and that devised for an all-optical multihop network (i.e., RSA for AO), the present RSA algorithm provides better utilization of network resources. Being aware of the all-optical bypass path in hopping, the proposed RSA reduces the blocking probability due to lack of bandwidth-tunable transceivers, which is the major reason for blocking for an RSA for the EO. Similar to the RSA for the AO, the proposed RSA is compatible with the number-of-hops adaptive spectrum assignment, which improves spectrum efficiency. On the other hand, the new algorithm enhances connectivity by eliminating the number-of-hops limitation, which severely constrains the performance of RSA for the AO. Simulations for the system are carried out to investigate the performance of the new algorithm. The impacts of various parameters, such as traffic load, ratio of connection requests with different data rates, and resource configuration on the link cost, are studied in terms of network blocking probability (BP). The achievable traffic load of the proposed RSA under varied connection degrees (i.e., the maximum number of ports that one rack has in order to connect to the core switch) and number of racks is also assessed to keep BP no more than 0.1. The results show that the proposed RSA with appropriate cost functions outperforms the EO and AO, which implies that it has the highest scalability.

- To improve the blocking probability (BP) performance and enhance the resource utilization, a correct decision of routing strategy which is most adaptable to the network configuration and traffic dynamics is essential for adaptive routing in optical datacenter networks (DCNs). A neural network (NN)-assisted decision-making scheme is proposed to find the optimal routing strategy in optical DCNs by predicting the BP performance for various candidate routing strategies. The features of an optical DCN architecture (i.e., the rack number N, connection degree D, spectral slot number S and optical transceiver number M) and the traffic pattern (i.e., the ratio of requests of various capacities R, and the load of arriving request) are used as the input to the NN to estimate the optimal routing strategy. A case of two-strategy decision in the transparent optical multi-hop interconnected DCN is studied. Three metrics are defined for performance evaluation, which include (a) the ratio of the load range with wrong decision over the whole load range of interest (i.e., decision error E), (b) the maximum BP loss (BPL) and (c) the resource utilization loss (UL) caused by the wrong decision. Numerical results show that the ratio of error-free cases over tested cases always surpasses 83% and the average values of E, BPL and UL are less than 3.0%, 4.0% and 1.2%, respectively, which implies the high accuracy of the proposed scheme. The results validate the feasibility of the proposed scheme which facilitates the autonomous implementation of adaptive routing in optical DCNs.

- In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system using a 450-nm gallium nitride (GaN) laser and adaptive bit-power loading discrete multitone (DMT). To enhance the system capacity, a post nonlinear equalizer based on the simplified Volterra series is employed at the receiver to mitigate the nonlinear impairments of the UWOC system. By combining the adaptive bit-power loading with nonlinear equalization, 7.33-Gb/s DMT-modulated UWOC under 15-m tap water is achieved at a bit error rate below the 7% hard-decision forward error correction (FEC) limit 3.8 x 10(-3). The electrical signal bandwidth is 1.25 GHz, which corresponds to an electrical spectrum efficiency of similar to 6 bit/s/Hz. The capacity-distance product reaches 109.95 Gb/s-m in a single channel UWOC system with tap water. Compared with the linear equalization case, the system capacity at the FEC limit for 15-m underwater transmission is improved by similar to 18% with the nonlinear equalization. Furthermore, the impact of turbidity on the performance of UWOC system is investigated by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under different suspension concentrations of Al(OH)(3) and Mg(OH)(2). The results show that significant SNR gains (>3 dB for transmission distance up to 11 m) can be obtained by the nonlinear equalization over a wide range of water turbidity levels representing "clear ocean," "coastal ocean," and "harbor water," which demonstrates the robustness of the proposed scheme in various ocean environments.

- This paper introduces a new concept, namely passive optical interconnect at top of the rack in the datacenter networks, and investigates several architectures, which use only passive optical components to interconnect different servers. In such a manner, the proposed schemes are able to offer higher bandwidth and significantly improve energy efficiency compared to their electronic counterpart that is based on commodity switches. The proposed passive optical interconnect schemes are experimentally demonstrated in order to validate the transmission performance. Besides, an assessment in terms of energy consumption and cost has also been carried out, which shows our proposed concept can significantly outperform the conventional commodity switches on energy efficiency while keeping the cost in the similar level.
