Stochastic Digital Backpropagation
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2014

In this paper, we propose a novel detector for single-channel long-haul coherent optical communications, termed stochastic digital backpropagation (SDBP), which takes into account noise from the optical amplifiers in addition to handling deterministic linear and nonlinear impairments. We discuss the design approach behind this detector, which is based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) principle. As closed-form expressions of the MAP detector are not tractable for coherent optical transmission, we employ the framework of Bayesian graphical models, which allows a numerical evaluation of the proposed detector. Through simulations, we observe that by accounting for nonlinear signal–noise interactions, we achieve a significant improvement in system reach with SDBP over digital backpropagation (DBP) for systems with periodic inline optical dispersion compensation. In uncompensated links with high symbol rates, the performance difference in terms of system reach for SDBP over DBP is small. In the absence of noise, the proposed detector is equivalent to the well-known DBP detector.
