The joint optimization of coding and modulation formats would provide significant receiver sensitivity improvement due to the increased Hamming distance of codes. By applying Arimoto-Blahut algorithm to maximize mutual information, optimized coded-modulation has been found out together with optimized bit-mapping rule. Simulated channel capacity shows that optimized coded modulation could outperform its counterparts, such as regular qaudrature-amplitude modulation, by around 0.3dB up to about 0.9 coding rate. The improvement is found to be larger in higher modulation formats. Optimal coded-8QAM modulation has been further verified in experiment, where 40Tb/s over 6787km is demonstrated by transmitting 200G per wavelength thanks to the better receiver sensitivity of optimal coded modulation.
The future optical transport networks will be affected by limited bandwidth of information infrastructure, high power consumption, and heterogeneity of network segments. As a solution to all these problems, the multidimensional signaling has been proposed recently. In this invited paper, we follow a different strategy. Instead of conventional binary and 2mary signaling (m≥1) we propose to use the nonbinary pm-ary signaling, where p is a prime larger than 2. With pm-ary signaling we can improve the spectral of conventional 2m-ary schemes by log2p times for the same bandwidth occupancy. At the same time the energy efficiency of pm-ary signaling scheme is much better than that of 2m-ary signaling scheme based on binary representation of data. We further study the energy-efficient coded modulation for pm-ary signaling. The energy-efficient signal constellation design for pm-ary signaling is discussed as well. We will demonstrate that with the proposed pm-ary signaling in combination with energy-efficient signal constellation design, spectral-multiplexing, and polarization-division multiplexing, we can achieve beyond 1 Pb/s serial optical transport without a need for introduction of spatial-division multiplexing.
We propose the general idea of constructing an ultra-compact optical pickup based on photonic crystals. A few optical components necessary for various functions of an optical head are designed and analyzed.
