Feedforward Neural Network-Based EVM Estimation : Impairment Tolerance in Coherent Optical Systems
- 2022
-
In: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.. - 1077-260X .- 1558-4542. ; 28:4

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Error vector magnitude (EVM) is commonly used for evaluating the quality of m-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (mQAM) signals. Recently proposed deep learning techniques for EVM estimation extend the functionality of conventional optical performance monitoring (OPM). In this article, we evaluate the tolerance of our developed EVM estimation scheme against various impairments in coherent optical systems. In particular, we analyze the signal quality monitoring capabilities in the presence of residual in-phase/quadrature (IQ) imbalance, fiber nonlinearity, and laser phase noise. We use feedforward neural networks (FFNNs) to extract the EVM information from amplitude histograms of 100 symbols per IQ cluster signal sequence captured before carrier phase recovery. We perform simulations of the considered impairments, along with an experimental investigation of the impact of laser phase noise. To investigate the tolerance of the EVM estimation scheme to each impairment type, we compare the accuracy for three training methods: 1) training without impairment, 2) training one model for all impairments, and 3) training an independent model for each impairment. Results indicate a good generalization of the proposed EVM estimation scheme, thus providing a valuable reference for developing next-generation intelligent OPM systems.

Optical amplification-free deep reservoir computing-assisted high-baudrate short-reach communication
- 2023
-
In: Optics Letters. - : Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA). - 0146-9592 .- 1539-4794. ; 48:8, s. 2122-2125
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An optical amplification-free deep reservoir computing (RC)-assisted high-baudrate intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD) system is experimentally demonstrated using a 100G externally modulated laser operated in C-band. We transmit 112 Gbaud 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) and 100 Gbaud 6-level PAM (PAM6) signals over a 200-m single-mode fiber (SMF) link without any optical amplification. The decision feedback equalizer (DFE), shallow RC, and deep RC are adopted in the IM/DD system to mitigate impairment and improve transmission performance. Both PAM transmissions over a 200-m SMF with bit error rate (BER) performance below 6.25% overhead hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold are achieved. In addition, the BER of the PAM4 signal is below the KP4-FEC limit after 200-m SMF transmission enabled by the RC schemes. Thanks to the use of a multiple-layer structure, the number of weights in deep RC has been reduced by approximately 50% compared with the shallow RC, whereas the performance is comparable. We believe that the optical amplification-free deep RC-assisted high-baudrate link has a promising application in intra-data center communications.

106.25 Gbaud On-Off Keying and Pulse Amplitude Modulation Links Supporting Next Generation Ethernet on Single Lambda
- 2024
-
In: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 42:4, s. 1272-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Development of Data Center based computing technology require energy efficient high-speed transmission links. This leads to optical amplification-free intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) systems with low complexity equalization compliant with IEEE standardized electrical interfaces. Switching from on-off keying to multi-level pulse amplitude modulation would allow to reduce lane count for next generation Ethernet interfaces. We characterize 106.25 Gbaud on-off keying, 4-level and 6-level pulse amplitude modulation links using two integrated transmitters: O-band directly modulated laser and C-band externally modulated laser. Simple feed forward or decision feedback equalizer is used. We demonstrate 106.25 Gbaud on-off keying links operating without forward error correction for both transmitters. We also show 106.25 Gbaud 4-level and 6-level pulse amplitude modulation links with performance below 6.25% overhead hard-decision forward error threshold of 4.5×10-3. Furthermore, for EML-based transmitter we achieve 106.25 Gbaud 4-level pulse amplitude modulation performance below KP-FEC threshold of 2.2×10-4. That shows that we can use optics to support (2x)100 Gbps Ethernet on single lambda at expense of simple forward error correction.

Directly modulated quantum cascade laser and its application in free-space communications
- 2021
-
In: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering. - : SPIE. - 9781510646377
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this report, we summarize our recent achievements in free-space communications in the mid-infrared (MIR) region enabled by directly modulated quantum cascaded laser (QCL) at 4.65 μm (∼65 THz). We have experimentally demonstrated a multigigabit free-space transmission link in the lab environment with the QCL operating at room temperature. The QCL chip is mounted on a commercial QCL mount with a water-cooled Peltier element. Multilevel modulation formats at different baud rates are generated and combined with the laser driving current at a custom-made bias-Tee to drive and modulate the QCL. A commercial mercury cadmium telluride (MCT, HgCdTe) photovoltaic (PV) MIR detector with a built-in trans-impedance amplifier was used to receive the MIR free-space signal. With the receiver to be the bottleneck of the system bandwidth, the end-To-end 3-dB bandwidth was measured to be around 320 MHz, and the 6-dB bandwidth was around 450 MHz. We have successfully demonstrated up to 6 Gbps free space transmission with multilevel modulation formats, assisted with effective digital equalization techniques despite the limited bandwidth..

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Foreseen requirements and use cases of future beyond fifth-generation (B5G) and sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks have shown that current mobile networks implementations must be reconsidered. Analog radio-over-fiber (ARoF) is a prospective solution for future mobile fronthaul of certain applications where current solutions fall short to fulfill future demands on bandwidth and power consumption. This paper provides a complete New-Radio (NR) conformance testing of ARoF fronthaul links in full accordance with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technical specifications. We experimentally verified that the adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) and the error vector magnitude (EVM) transmitter requirements are fulfilled validating ARoF links as a suitable solution for next-generation mobile fronthaul. Wireless transmissions results are also provided.

Silica Microsphere WGMR-Based Kerr-OFC Light Source and Its Application for High-Speed IM/DD Short-Reach Optical Interconnects
- 2022
-
In: Applied Sciences. - : MDPI AG. - 2076-3417. ; 12:9, s. 4722-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kerr optical frequency combs (OFCs) based on silica microsphere whispering gallery mode resonator (WGMR) have various applications where they are used as a light source. For telecommunication purposes, WGMR-based Kerr-OFC comb generators can be physically realized using silica microsphere resonators and can be used to replace multiple laser arrays. In such a realization, these novel light sources have the potential to demonstrate an attractive solution for intra-datacenter interconnects (DCI). In this paper, we show an experimental demonstration of a silica microsphere WGMR-based Kerr OFC light source where newly generated 400 GHz spaced carriers together with powerful linear equalization techniques, such as a linear symbol-spaced adaptive decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) with feed-forward (FF) and feedback (FB) taps, provide an alternative to individual lasers ensuring low-cost and low-complexity IM/DD scheme for the transmission of NRZ-OOK modulated signals at data rates up to 50 Gbps/lambda over 2 km SMF link. Finally, we demonstrate a record 50 Gbps per lambda transmission of NRZ-OOK modulated signals with a novel silica microsphere WGMR-based Kerr-OFC as a light source operating in the optical C-band, surpassing the previously demonstrated data rate record by five times.

Power efficiency of WDM networks using various modulation formats with spectral efficiency limited by linear crosstalk
- 2014
-
In: Optics Communications. - : Elsevier BV. - 0030-4018 .- 1873-0310. ; 318, s. 31-36
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Small channel spacing in WDM systems offers very good spectral efficiency, but may reduce the transparent optical reach because of interchannel crosstalk. In turn, an increase in the network power consumption can be expected, due to the need for signal regeneration. This paper explores the trade-off between spectral efficiency, transparent optical reach, and power consumption. The results confirm that using the most energy efficient transponder (i.e., in terms of W/bps) does not always guarantee the lowest overall network power consumption. This is especially true over long point-to-point distances (i.e., multiple transmission fiber spans) where, in order to ensure stringent quality of transmission levels together with high spectral efficiency, the optical signal needs to be regenerated many times.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With the progress of high-capacity radio access networks, ultra-dense small cells are rapidly being deployed in urban areas. As a result, the deployment of a large number of optical fibers in urban areas becomes a severe issue. In this Letter, we propose a hybrid fiber–terahertz (THz) mobile fronthaul system supporting flexible and high-order wireless signal transmission with the delta-sigma modulation. The photonic THz transmission is used as the seamless extension of fiber-based fronthaul in small cells. A 20-Gbit/s digital fiber–THz fronthaul system is experimentally demonstrated to validate the proposed scheme, with 10-km optical fiber transmission and 300-GHz wireless relay. Carrier aggregation of up to 10 40-MHz and 60-MHz 5G-new radio (5G-NR) channels at the radio carrier frequency of 3.9 GHz is reported. The design of quantization noise suppressed delta-sigma modulation enables the system to transmit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation up to 16384 order quadrate amplitude modulation (QAM) mapping with the error vector magnitude (EVM) below 0.5%.

Quantum Noise Secured Terahertz Communications

In: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.. - 1077-260X .- 1558-4542. ; 29:5

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The terahertz communications display an important role in high-speed wireless communications, the security threat from the eavesdroppers in the terahertz communications has been gaining attention recently. The true randomness in the physical layer can ensure one-time-pad encryption for secured terahertz communications, however, physical layer security schemes like the quantum key distribution methods suffer from device imperfections that limit the desirable signal rate and link distance. Herein, we present the quantum noise secured terahertz wireless communications with photonic terahertz signal generation schemes. With the high-order diffusion algorithms, the signal is masked by the quantum noise ciphers to the eavesdroppers and cannot be detected because the inevitable randomness by quantum noise measurement will cause physical measurement errors. In the experiment, we demonstrate 16 Gbits-1 quantum noise secured terahertz wireless communications with the conventional optical communication realms and devices, operating at 300 GHz terahertz frequency. This quantum noise secured terahertz communication approach is a significant step toward high-security wireless communications.
