Implementation of Soft Decoding Mechanism for Addressing Nonlinearities in Long-Distance Optical Transmission System

A soft decoding technique is discussed in this paper to improve the performance of long-distance optical networks (LDOTNs). LDOTNs are affected by phase noise and nonlinearities generated inside the fiber. The investigations of the proposed LDOTN were carried out by dual-polarization 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (DP-16QAM), DP-64QAM over single-mode fiber (SMF) and digital signal processing (DSP) methodologies. The improved performance of the presented mechanism is discussed over SMF based on constellation shaping (CS). The CS of the presented LDOTN is then compared to the standard 16-QAM and 64-QAM using international telecommunication union-telecommunication (ITU-T) standard G-652.D and G-657.A1 SMF. The soft detecting procedure enables the LDOTNs to attain significant outcomes.
