The invention discloses a linear digital phase
demodulation method for a high-spectral-efficiency coherent
optical link, and relates to the technical field of
optical communication, the technical field of microwaves and the field of
digital signal processing. The method is as shown in figure 1 in the specification, and comprises two lasers CW1 and CW2, a polarization
multiplexing Mach-Zehnder modulator PDMMZM, a 25km single-mode
optical fiber SMF, two polarization controllers PC1 and PC2, an integrated coherent
receiver ICR, an analog-to-
digital converter ADC and a
digital signal processing module DSP.
Intensity modulation and
phase modulation are respectively carried out on two
radio frequency signals RF in an optical carrier orthogonal polarization state by using PDMMZM, the polarizationstates of a modulated optical
signal and a local oscillation optical
signal are manually adjusted through two PCs, the modulated optical
signal and the local oscillation optical signal are sent to anICR for coherent detection, and then the signals are sent to a DSP module through ADC sampling to complete linear
demodulation. According to the invention, coherent detection is combined with a
digital signal processing technology to realize signal
demodulation. The method has the advantages of
high spectral efficiency, good
linearity, high sensitivity, capability of effectively suppressing phasenoise and the like.
