Agile DSP-Based Optical Transmission Systems
With exponential traffic growth projected from mobile and cloud applications, optical networks powering the Internet backbone will require orders-of-magnitude transmission capacity gains. At the core of our innovation in this area are agile digital signal processing (DSP)-based approaches, including digital Nyquist spectral shaping, DSP-based nonlinearity compensation and advanced soft-decision forward error correction (FEC) that optimize spectrum utilization, maximize transmission reach and provide data rate flexibility.

Multidimensional Optical Processing
After setting the standing 100Tb/s world record for the transmission capacity of a single-mode optical fiber deployed in current networks, we are now leading a forward-looking investigation of the transmission-capacity potential of multidimensional optical processing and coded modulation in space division multiplexed (SDM) optical transmission systems, wherein different spatial modes in a single fiber can be used as parallel data channels to increase aggregate transmission capacity.
