Abstract: The drive for higher performance in optical fiber systems has renewed interest in coherent detection. We review detection methods, including noncoherent, differentially coherent, and coherent detection, as well as a hybrid method. We compare modulation methods encoding information in various degrees of freedom (DOF). Polarization-multiplexed quadrature-amplitude modulation maximizes spectral efficiency and power efficiency, by utilizing all four available DOF, the two field quadratures in the two polarizations. Dual-polarization homodyne or heterodyne downconversion are linear processes that can fully recover the received signal field in these four DOF. When downconverted signals are sampled at the Nyquist rate, compensation of transmission impairments can be performed using digital signal processing (DSP). Linear impairments, including chromatic dispersion and polarization-mode dispersion, can be compensated quasi-exactly using finite impulse response filters. Some nonlinear impairments, such as intra-channel four-wave mixing and nonlinear phase noise, can be compensated partially. Carrier phase recovery can be performed using feedforward methods, even when phase-locked loops may fail due to delay constraints. DSP-based compensation enables a receiver to adapt to time-varying impairments, and facilitates use of advanced forward-error-correction codes. We discuss both single- and multi-carrier system implementations. For a given modulation format, using coherent detection, they offer fundamentally the same spectral efficiency and power efficiency, but may differ in practice, because of different impairments and implementation details. With anticipated advances in analog-to-digital converters and integrated circuit technology, DSP-based coherent receivers at bit rates up to 100 Gbit/s should become practical within the next few years.

Comprehensive model for studying noise induced by self-homodyne detection of backward Rayleigh scattering in optical fibers.
TL;DR: This manuscript describes a comprehensive model for studying intensity noise induced by spontaneous Rayleigh backscattering in optical systems that are based on self-homodyne detection and shows that at frequencies above about 10 kHz the noise spectrum is determined by the laser white frequency noise.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase error estimates corresponding to data symbol estimates detected from the received optical signal are calculated, using a filter function, and the phase rotation applied to at least one data symbol estimate to generate a corresponding rotated symbol estimate, such that the computed phase rotation can compensate phase noise that is greater than one decision region of the symbol constellation.
