Abstract

Equalization-enhanced phase noise (EEPN) has emerged as one of the major impairments that cannot be ignored for a high baud rate Stokes vector direct detection (SVDD) system. When EEPN interacts with the rotation of state-of-polarization (RSOP) and chromatic dispersion (CD), the joint impairment effects become even more complicated. To achieve the joint equalization of EEPN, RSOP, and CD impairments of a high baud rate SVDD system, this paper first derives a joint impairment model of these three kinds of impairments, and then proposes a joint equalization scheme of EEPN, RSOP, and CD with a sliding window assisted extended Kalman filter (SWA-EKF). The SWA-EKF scheme first tracks RSOP in the time domain, subsequently compensates CD in the frequency domain, and finally performs EEPN mitigation in the time domain again. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been verified by a 60 GBaud SVDD-16QAM simulation system. The results show that when these three impairments are jointly equalized, the SWA-EKF scheme can track RSOP as fast as 3 Mrad/s, cumulative dispersion up to 1600 ps/nm, and EEPN caused by laser linewidth up to 3 MHz. In addition, with an optical signal-to-noise ratio penalty of 0.3 dB, it could increase 35 G baud rate under 3 MHz laser linewidth for the SVDD system. More importantly, its total complexity can be reduced to an order of ${\rm{O}}(N{\log}N)$.
