- Abstract
- The use of Alamouti-coded polarization-time block code (A-PTBC) in combination with a simple single polarization coherent receiver enables phase-diverse coherent detection without any optical polarization tracking. However, applying this technique to high-speed single-carrier systems is not straightforward, as it requires specialized digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for data recovery, which increases DSP complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel Alamouti-coded coherent algorithm designed to significantly reduce the complexity of the receiver DSP for data recovery. The proposed algorithm achieves the comparable performance to the conventional algorithm but requires only half the number of necessary equalizers for data recovery. We validate its performance through simulations and also experimentally demonstrate a 100 Gb/s 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) single-carrier coherent system employed the single-polarization coherent receiver over 20 km of standard single-mode fiber (SMF). Through the performance verification, the coherent system with the proposed algorithm exhibits performance comparable to that of the conventional Alamouti-coded coherent system and achieves a power budget of 34 dB when the transmit launch power is set to 7 dBm at a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1 × 10−2 for 0-20 km fiber transmission.
