Leveraging autoencoder for laser phase noise compensation in coherent optical OFDM systems
摘要
This paper unveils a cutting-edge end-to-end learning approach to tackle laser phase noise in coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) fiber communications. Inspired by the autoencoder concept, a powerful deep neural network, the proposed approach tackles this challenge by learning resilient symbol sequences that can withstand laser phase noise impairments, even from low-cost distributed feedback lasers with linewidths up to 2 MHz. This makes it ideally suited for high-order modulation formats and large FFT sizes in CO-OFDM systems, where maximizing spectral efficiency is crucial. By eliminating the need for computationally intensive conventional techniques, this approach opens the door to a simpler, potentially more efficient solution.
