ABSTRACT:
An optical receiver demodulates optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals and generates a number of subcarrier reference signals, each for demodulating a frequency channel of the frequency division multiplexed signals. It compensates for degradations in the generated reference signals by averaging a number of estimates derived from different inputs to make the references more resilient to degradations. It can encompass time averaging to compensate for amplification noise, and frequency averaging of phase drift estimation to compensate for phase drift caused by reduced source coherence. It can enable longer system reach and/or increased optical power margins by means of better system resilience to amplification noise and reduced source coherence. The bit error rate can be reduced, and/or the capacity can be increased by increasing bit rate or introducing more frequency channels.
