A Novel Demodulation Scheme for a Memoryless Optical Interference Channel
Paper in proceeding, 2017

Matched filtering and sampling, which is known to be the optimal receiver for the linear additive white Gaussian noise channel, is in general suboptimal for a nonlinear medium. Nonetheless, it is commonly used in fiber-optical communication systems with nonlinear distortion. In this paper, a novel demodulation scheme is proposed for a two-user memoryless interference channel, with a type of nonlinear crosstalk that occurs in wavelength-multiplexed optical transmission. We show by simulations that by using this demodulation scheme, unlike matched filtering and sampling, the symbol error rate decreases to zero in the high-power regime.
