Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coherent optical transmission systems are used to transmit high-speed data over long distances using optical fibers. These systems rely on the coherent detection of light signals, which allows for the recovery of both the amplitude and phase of the transmitted signal. This makes it possible to use advanced modulation formats, such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), to increase the data rate of the system.

Thanks to its numerous advantages, coherent light detection has shown outstanding performance in fiber optic transmission systems. Recently, with the emergence of 6G technology, new requirements have arisen for the data transmission rates of optical wireless communication. As the demand for higher data transmission rates increases, the conventional intensity modulation direct detection system may not suffice, making the development of a coherent system an urgent necessity. To realize coherent transmission systems in optical wireless communication, novel modulation formats, transceiver devices, digital signal processing, and communication mechanisms should be developed in both directions.

The goal of this Special Issue is to address the difficulties and prospects of optical wireless communication with regard to coherent transmission systems, as well as their potential optical solutions, by examining possible development paths, obstacles, and frontier technologies. Additionally, the issue aims to provide a platform to present the latest innovations and research in coherent free space optics. Original research articles and reviews on recent processes and developments will be welcomed. Topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Free space optics (FSO);
  • Optical wireless communication (OWC);
  • Visible light communication (VLC);
  • Optical modulator;
  • Optical detector;
  • New modulation format and technology;
  • Advanced DSP algorithm;
  • Machine-learning-based algorithm.

We propose and demonstrate a hybrid communication architecture that combines millimeter-wave (MMW) in the radio frequency (RF) domain and free-space-optics (FSO) technologies using adaptive combining and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. At the receiving end, we employed joint signal processing with an adaptive diversity combining technique (ADCT) based on a maximum ratio combining (MRC) algorithm. We derived closed-form expressions for the outage probability and throughput of the hybrid RF and FSO (RF/FSO) system, considering various characteristics of atmospheric turbulence in the FSO link. Experimental testing with 10-Gbaud quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) data was conducted under different simulated atmospheric turbulence intensities, FSO and MMW speed-ratios, and forward error correction (FEC) overheads. Additionally, we validated improvements in terms of bit error ratio (BER), outage probability, and throughput performance. Full article

We have experimentally implemented a photonics-aided large-capacity fiber-mm-wave wireless communication system employing a simple dual-polarized single-input single-output (SISO) wireless based on polarization multiplexing at the W-band. To compare the performance of different algorithms, 18G-baud, and 35G-baud 16-level quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM), probabilistically shaped 16QAM (PS-16QAM), [...] Read more.
We have experimentally implemented a photonics-aided large-capacity fiber-mm-wave wireless communication system employing a simple dual-polarized single-input single-output (SISO) wireless based on polarization multiplexing at the W-band. To compare the performance of different algorithms, 18G-baud, and 35G-baud 16-level quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM), probabilistically shaped 16QAM (PS-16QAM), 64QAM and PS-64QAM signal using different carrier phase recovery (CPR) algorithms are transmitted in the system. Moreover, we compare the Viterbi–Viterbi (VV), improved new algorithm based on VV (NVV), blind phase search (BPS), and two-stage BPS algorithms’ computational complexity to better compare different algorithms. Using the experiment result, we can demonstrate that the BPS algorithm is about half a magnitude better than the NVV algorithm for PS-QAM signals, while the NVV algorithm has the lowest computational complexity. Additionally, we also achieve error-free wireless transmission at a net data rate of 324.1 Gb/s with the bit error ratio (BER) below the forward-error correction (FEC) threshold of 1 × 10−2 assuming soft-decision forward-error correction (SD-FEC) when using the BPS algorithm.
