| 摘要 |
System, apparatus and method of optical communication are provided for performing channel estimation for an optical OFDM system by utilizing correlated dual-polarization training symbols (CDPTS) to offer high system tolerance to fiber nonlinear effects such as cross-phase modulation (XPM) among wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) channels. An exemplary method includes receiving a pair of dual-polarization or polarization-multiplexed training symbols in an optical polarization-division multiplexed (PDM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) signal, and performing channel estimation to obtain an estimated channel matrix for at least a first of a plurality of subcarriers of the PDM-OFDM signal. Channel compensation is performed based on the estimated channel matrix for at least the first subcarrier of the OFDM signal and symbols then decoded.
