In Software defined elastic optical networks, modulation format and constellation size may be flexibly modified. As a result, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm should be compatible with different modulation schemes or readily reconfigurable at the optical coherent receiver. Therefore we propose a novel cascaded adaptive blind equalizers based on decision-directed modified least mean square (DD-MLMS) algorithm for polarization separation and carrier phase recovery. The algorithm is square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) independent so that it could be applied in the elastic optical systems. The 28 Gbaud polarization multiplexing quadrature phase shift keying (PM-QPSK) and PM-16QAM back-to-back transmission is demonstrated. The results show that the performance is very close to the general algorithm but with a benefit of the reduced operation complexity. We transmit the 8×240 Gb/s PM-16QAM wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) signal over 1200 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) based on the proposed blind equalization with a bit error ratio (BER) less than 2×10−2.

The polarization demultiplexing and carrier phase restoration method has the beneficial effects that the polarization superimposition and carrier phase noise of the coherent light communication system can be processed at the same time, the adjustment and optimization parameter can be adapted to different values in different scenes, and the tolerance of the algorithm to the polarization rotation and the phase nose can be maximally improved; and meanwhile, the performance of the polarization is irrelevant to the initial adjustment and optimization parameter Q , and excellent performance of rapid convergence and high-precision estimation can be achieved.
