The application discloses a coherent
optical communication system and a sequence detection method based on LUT soft decision output, wherein at the sending end of the coherent
optical communication system, binary bit
stream original data is first mapped into QPSK symbols, the original QPSK
signal is filtered through a narrow-band
digital filter to obtain a narrow-band filtered QPSK
signal, then the pre-filtered QPSK
signal is Nyquist sampled to obtain a
digital signal to be sent, after the sending end DSP is completed, the
digital signal to be sent needs to be converted into an
analog signal through a digital-to-analog converter, the
analog signal is optically modulated through an
optical modulator to obtain an optical domain sending signal, the optical domain sending signal is transmitted through an
optical fiber to reach a receiving end, coherent optical reception is realized through a coherent
receiver, a
digital signal is obtained through an analog-to-
digital converter, a series of receiving end DSP pretreatments are carried out, finally, a BCJR
algorithm based on LUT is used to perform sequence detection on the pretreated signal to recover
original data. The
system can realize long-distance coherent
optical communication with
high transmission rate and
high spectral efficiency.
