Description
A method and system for phase reconstruction of dual-polarization signals based on fully blind polarization rotation matrix estimation Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for phase reconstruction of dual-polarization signals based on fully blind polarization rotation matrix estimation. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, data traffic is experiencing explosive growth. The enormous demands of these emerging technologies on bandwidth and computing resources have driven the construction and technological upgrades of numerous large-scale data centers. To meet these ever-increasing demands, developing high-speed, high-capacity optical interconnect technologies for data centers has become a top priority.
[0003] For 400 Gbit / s data center optical interconnects, Intensity Modulation Direct Detection (IMDD) technology has been widely adopted due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, facing the demand for further increases in communication speed, IMDD technology suffers from insufficient spectral efficiency, power selective fading caused by dispersion, and limitations in optical signal-to-noise ratio. These issues restrict its application in coarse wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems for 800 Gbit / s or even 1.6 Tbit / s optical interconnects within a range of 0 to 80 kilometers. Coherent optical communication systems, by employing higher-order modulation formats and polarization multiplexing techniques, can significantly improve transmission capacity and meet the aforementioned speed requirements. However, such systems are complex in structure, consume more power, and are more expensive, greatly limiting their application in cost-sensitive data center optical interconnects.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objective of this invention, the technical solution adopted is as follows: A phase reconstruction method for dual-polarized signals based on fully blind polarization rotation matrix estimation, comprising the following specific steps: S1. Acquire the dual-polarized signal to be measured, wherein the dual-polarized signal includes a signal with added dispersion and a signal without added dispersion; construct an initial signal by presetting a polarization rotation matrix parameter α and setting an initial phase value for the signal without added dispersion; S2.

[0007] Preferably, in step S1, an initial signal is constructed by presetting a polarization rotation matrix parameter α and setting an initial phase value for the signal without added dispersion. Specifically, the steps are as follows: Presetting a polarization rotation matrix parameter α for polarization multiplexing and demultiplexing; parameter α is set as follows:
[0008] Where n represents the total number of values for the polarization rotation matrix parameter α; the larger the value of n, the more accurate the estimation of the polarization rotation matrix. The root mean square values of the undispersed signals in the two polarization states are calculated respectively to obtain the initial signal amplitude. The same root mean square calculation is performed on the signal with added dispersion to obtain the amplitude. in, This will be used to set the strength of the initial signal, while This reserves signal amplitude constraints for subsequent steps; A randomly selected initial phase is assigned to each of the two polarization states of the undispersed dual-polarization signal under test, serving as the starting point for signal processing:
[0009]
[0010] in As the initial signal, The initial phase is randomly selected, and j is the imaginary unit; at the same time, the current iteration counter is set to i = 0.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the initial signal is preprocessed, specifically by: compensating for the dispersion effect accumulated during the transmission of the initial signal through the optical fiber; the amount of dispersion compensated is denoted as , which matches the total dispersion introduced by the optical fiber; the time-domain expression of the compensation process is as follows:

Using a signal generated from mapping independent data sequences, pilot replacement is performed on the signal at specific positions according to a predetermined proportion of pilot symbols, thereby achieving pilot constraint in the time domain. The pilot-constrained signal is then processed again using a root-raised cosine filter for spectral constraint. Finally, the polarization rotation matrix is convolved with the pilot-constrained signal for polarization multiplexing.

[0033] Furthermore, in step S6, the final signal is iteratively optimized to obtain the final phase reconstruction signal. Specifically, this involves checking whether the current iteration number i has reached the preset maximum iteration number I. max If the current iteration number i equals I max Once all iterations are complete, the algorithm will output the final phase reconstruction signal S. output (t); if not equal to I max This indicates that the algorithm has not yet completed all the predetermined iterations, so the magnitude error A is calculated. error With the preset decision threshold ε TH Comparison between them; if the amplitude error A error Less than or equal to the decision threshold ε TH A error ≤ε TH If the amplitude error A is not reached, the algorithm terminates and outputs the final signal; if the amplitude error A is not reached, the algorithm terminates and outputs the final signal. error Greater than the decision threshold ε TH A error >ε TH If the phase of the initial signal is updated to the phase of the phase reconstructed signal, the value of the iteration counter i is incremented, and the iteration returns to step S2 for further iteration.
[0034] Furthermore, after obtaining the final phase reconstruction signal, the bit error rate (BER) is calculated on the final phase reconstruction signal. Based on the BER, the value of α is approximated, and the accurate phase reconstruction signal is confirmed. The specific steps are as follows: Determine the current number of times k of the polarization rotation matrix parameter α is taken. If k < n, the current number of times the current value is incremented. If k < n, the current number of times the current value is incremented, and the process returns to step S1 until k = n. Finally, n BER values are obtained. Find the minimum value among the n sets of BER data and use it as the α value in the polarization rotation matrix. Based on the α value, the accurate phase reconstruction signal is confirmed.

[0070] Example 3: A phase reconstruction system for dual-polarization signals based on fully blind polarization rotation matrix estimation, comprising a signal generation module, a signal construction module, a preprocessing module, an amplitude constraint module, a dispersion compensation module, an error decision module, an iterative optimization module, and a bit error rate calculation module. The signal generation module acquires the dual-polarization signal to be measured, which includes a signal with added dispersion and a signal without added dispersion. The signal construction module constructs an initial signal by presetting a polarization rotation matrix parameter α and setting an initial phase value for the signal without added dispersion. The preprocessing module preprocesses the initial signal.

The iterative optimization module iteratively optimizes the phase reconstruction signal to obtain the final phase reconstruction signal.
[0071] As shown in Figure 2, the signal generation module includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a laser, an I / Q modulator, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The receiver includes a polarization beamsplitter, an optical splitter, a dispersion element, a photodetector, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The transmitter and receiver are connected via an optical fiber transmission link. The laser generates a stable optical signal. The I / Q modulator performs electro-optical conversion on the optical signal to achieve signal modulation. The DAC converts the digital signal into the analog signal required for modulation during this process. In this embodiment, the I / Q modulator is specifically a dual-polarization I / Q modulator. The DAC is a 4-channel DAC. The polarization beamsplitter separates the received optical signal into two orthogonally polarized output beams. The photodetector converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, capturing the intensity information of the two signals. The dispersion element introduces additional dispersion into one of the signals to facilitate phase reconstruction. The DAC converts the analog electrical signal into a digital signal, providing data for subsequent digital signal processing.
[0072] In this embodiment, the received optical signal is separated into two output signal beams S with orthogonal polarization states by a polarization beam splitter. x (t), S y (t) after which the output signal beam S is further... x (t), S y (t) is divided into two beams. One of the signals is dispersive and output as a dispersive signal through an analog-to-digital converter. The other signal is undispersive and output as an undispersive signal through an analog-to-digital converter. The phase of the two polarization states of the signal beams is reconstructed respectively.
[0073] In this embodiment, the signal is transmitted through an 80-kilometer standard single-mode fiber in the optical fiber transmission link, passing through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier along the way. The function of this amplifier is to compensate for energy loss during signal transmission in the optical fiber, ensuring that the signal maintains sufficient strength after long-distance transmission.
[0074] In this embodiment, the present invention employs phase reconstruction technology and vibration multiplexing (PDM) technology based on signal strength information.
[0075] Among them, phase reconstruction technology transmits quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals at the transmitting end and performs direct detection at the receiving end, providing a potential solution for high-speed optical interconnects.
[0076] Polarization multiplexing (PDM) technology can double the transmission capacity of a single-polarization optical transmission system. In carrier-assisted direct probe phase reconstruction receivers, the optical carrier undergoes random polarization rotation due to the transmission characteristics of the fiber optic link. When the polarization beam splitter (PBS) at the receiver processes these rotated optical carriers, it may lose one of the orthogonal polarization states, thus failing to recover the polarization state signal information from the signal. This phenomenon is called polarization fading. In contrast, dual-polarization carrierless phase reconstruction receivers obtain the intensity information of the two signals through two photodetectors and an additional dispersive element, and then use the GS iterative algorithm to reconstruct the phase of the signal, ultimately recovering the orthogonal amplitude modulated signal. Since it is not necessary to generate an optical carrier at the transmitter, this method can theoretically effectively avoid the problem of polarization fading.
[0077] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
