no code implementations7 Jun 2022 Sebastiaan Goossens, Yunus Can Gültekin, Olga Vassilieva, Inwoong Kim, Paparao Palacharla, Chigo Okonkwo, Alex Alvarado

Reach increase and nonlinearity tolerance are evaluated in terms of achievable information rates and post-FEC bit-error rate.

4D Geometric Shell Shaping with Applications to 400ZR

no code implementations7 Jun 2022 Sebastiaan Goossens, Yunus Can Gültekin, Olga Vassilieva, Inwoong Kim, Paparao Palacharla, Chigo Okonkwo, Alex Alvarado

Geometric shell shaping is introduced and evaluated for reach increase and nonlinearity tolerance in terms of MI against PM-16QAM and PS-PM-16QAM in a 400ZR compatible transmission setup.

Experimental Validation of Sequence-Wise Predistorter for Evaluation of Geometrically Shaped 128-QAM

no code implementations11 May 2022 Menno van den Hout, Sjoerd van der Heide, Sebastiaan Goossens, Chigo Okonkwo

A predistorter for transmitter nonlinearities is applied to the evaluation of a geometrically shaped constellation, such that constellation points are transmitted correctly during the evaluation of the geometrically shaped constellation.

no code implementations20 Dec 2021 Vinícius Oliari, Boris Karanov, Sebastiaan Goossens, Gabriele Liga, Olga Vassilieva, Inwoong Kim, Paparao Palacharla, Chigo Okonkwo, Alex Alvarado

In this paper we carry out a joint optimization of probabilistic (PS) and geometric shaping (GS) for four-dimensional (4D) modulation formats in long-haul coherent wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical fiber communications using an auto-encoder framework.

Low-Complexity Geometrical Shaping for 4D Modulation Formats via Amplitude Coding

no code implementations29 Oct 2021 Bin Chen, Wei Ling, Yunus Can Gültekin, Yi Lei, Chigo Okonkwo, Alex Alvarado

Signal shaping is vital to approach Shannon's capacity, yet it is challenging to implement at very high speeds.

Kramers-Kronig Receiver Combined With Digital Resolution Enhancer

no code implementations22 Jul 2021 Menno van den Hout, Sjoerd van der Heide, Chigo Okonkwo

A Kramers-Kronig receiver with a continuous wave tone added digitally at the transmitter is combined with a digital resolution enhancer to limit the increase in transmitter quantization noise.

Kurtosis-limited Sphere Shaping for Nonlinear Interference Noise Reduction in Optical Channels

no code implementations31 May 2021 Yunus Can Gültekin, Alex Alvarado, Olga Vassilieva, Inwoong Kim, Paparao Palacharla, Chigo Okonkwo, Frans M. J. Willems

Nonlinear interference (NLI) generated during the propagation of an optical waveform through the fiber depends on the fourth order standardized moment of the channel input distribution, also known as kurtosis.

Experimental validation of MDL emulation and estimation techniques for SDM transmission systems

no code implementations29 Oct 2020 Menno van den Hout, Ruby S. B. Ospina, Sjoerd van der Heide, Juan Carlos Alvarado-Zacarias, Jose Enrique Antonio-López, Marianne Bigot-Astruc, Adrian Amezcua Correa, Pierre Sillard, Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa, Darli A. A. Mello, Chigo Okonkwo

We experimentally validate a mode-dependent loss (MDL) estimation technique employing acorrection factor to remove the MDL estimation dependence on the SNR when using a minimum meansquare error (MMSE) equalizer.

Mode-dependent Loss and Gain Estimation in SDM Transmission Based on MMSE Equalizers

no code implementations31 Aug 2020 Ruby S. B. Ospina, Menno van den Hout, Juan Carlos Alvarado-Zacarias, Jose Enrique Antonio-López, Marianne Bigot-Astruc, Adrian Amezcua Correa, Pierre Sillard, Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa, Chigo Okonkwo, Darli A. A. Mello

Based on the transfer function of MIMO MMSE equalizers, and assuming a known SNR, we calculate a correction factor that improves the estimation process in moderate levels of MDL/MDG and SNR.
