| 摘要 |
An optical transport system configured to transmit at least two phase-conjugated optical variants carrying the same modulated symbols, with the phase-conjugated optical variants in being different from one another in one or more of polarization of light, the time of transmission, spatial localization, optical carrier wavelength, and subcarrier frequency during transmission. The two phase-conjugated optical variants can be generated by a single polarization-diversity transmitter to be orthogonally polarized, and propagate through an optical transmission link with the same wavelength and spatial path. The optical variants are detected and processed at the receiver in a manner that enables coherent summation of the corresponding electrical signals prior to constellation de-mapping. The coherent summation tends to cancel out the deleterious effects of nonlinear distortions imparted on the individual phase-conjugated optical variants in an optical fiber transmission link because said nonlinear distortions tend to be opposite to each other.
