Abstract:
Methods of operating an optical communication system in coherent optical transmissions for metro applications. Relative to conventional solutions, the optical communication system can be implemented with reduced cost and can operate with reduced power consumption, while maintaining high data rate performance (e.g., 100G). Furthermore, a programmable transceiver enables compatibility with a range of different types of optical networks having varying performance and power tradeoffs. In one embodiment, the optical communication system uses 100 Gb/s dual-polarization 16-point quadrature amplitude modulation (DP-16QAM) with non-linear pre-compensation of Indium Phosphide (InP) optics for low power consumption.

Claim (Index 1):
A transceiver device, the device comprising:\n a first digital interface to generate a first digital signal vector based on a first host signal received from a host; a 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) encoder to generate a first 16QAM signal vector based on the first digital signal vector received from the digital interface; a first analog front end to generate a first analog signal vector based on the first 16QAM signal vector, and to transmit the first analog signal vector to a coherent optical transceiver for transmission over an optical channel by the optical transceiver; a second analog front end to receive a second analog signal vector from the coherent optical transceiver representing an optical signal communicated over the optical channel encoded based on 16WAM, and the second analog front end to generate a second 16QAM signal vector based on the second analog signal vector; a 16QAM decoder to demodulate the second 16QAM signal vector and to generate a second digital signal vector; and a second digital interface to generate a second host signal to be provided to the host.
