Abstract

Modulation format independence is one of the key challenges in digital signal processing (DSP) techniques for future elastic optical transmissions. We proposed a modulation-format-independent blind phase search (MFI-BPS) algorithm for square M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) systems, in which modulation format recognition (MFR) and carrier phase estimation (CPE), are included and implemented both in a feed-forward manner. Comprehensive simulation and the experimental studies on 224 Gbit/s polarization multiplexing 16-QAM (PM-16QAM) systems demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed MFI-BPS algorithm.
