Jiazhi MAO, Qichao LU, Li TAO, Renjie LI, and Tong CHENG

【Objective】E/W band millimeter-wave frequency covers 60~110 GHz, with abundant frequency band resources and potential for high-capacity transmission. Compared with lasers, E/W band millimeter-wave beam is wider, with advantages of directionality, anti-interference and ease of alignment, making it a promising frequency band for long-distance wireless communication at sea. However, the characteristics of near-sea surface channels such as atmospheric absorption and multipath at the sea surface limit the transmission distance of E/W-band millimeter waves, resulting in bottlenecks in E/W-band millimeter wave transmission near-sea surface. This paper focuses on the direction of long-distance millimeter-wave wireless transmission at sea, using microwave photonics technology to propose an ultra-wideband millimeter-wave modulation and demodulation system architecture to improve the millimeter-wave frequency conversion and modulation performance. We then study the optimal high-order modulation format in near-sea surface long-distance transmission systems to achieve high-capacity long-distance transmission.【Methods】The power amplifier in long-distance communication systems can introduce nonlinear distortion to the signal. It analyzes the factors affecting the performance of high-order modulation formats such as Amplitude Phase Shift Keying (APSK) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) due to the nonlinear characteristics of solid-state power amplifiers. The optimal distribution, Euclidean distance and inner and outer radius ratio of 16APSK signals have been studied. By the equivalent power experiments, the nonlinear resistance of 16QAM and 16APSK signals are compared and analyzed.【Results】The millimeter-wave long-distance transmission experiment is carried out for performance investigation. It proves that the APSK modulation format is more suitable for long-distance transmission system than QAM format.【Conclusion】Based on the 16APSK modulation format, the performance of 16 Gbit/s, equivalent 34 km long-distance transmission are achieved in the experiment, providing high-value technical means for long-distance high-capacity transmission at sea.

【Objective】To improve the linear fit between the reflected spectral center wavelength and external environmental variables in Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing system, this paper proposes to use particle swarm optimization of Gaussian process regression model to the field of FBG stress sensing.【Methods】For the reflectance spectral characteristics of the FBG, the paper studies the impact of the linear fit in the spectral fitting of FBG sensing system. The particle swarm algorithm is used to search for the optimal hyperparameters in the Gaussian process regression model in order to enhance the predictive performance of the reflectance spectral wavelength of the center. A FBG stress sensing experimental platform was built, and the FBG was laid on the strength beam. Different weights were applied to one end of the equal strength beam to produce axial strain on the FBG, and the reflectance spectral data were collected by the spectrometer and analyzed by linear fitting with the studied model. The results obtained by the unoptimized Gaussian process regression model, the maximum value method, the Gaussian fitting method, and the center of mass method were used as the control group.【Results】The results show that under the conditions of erbium-doped fiber amplifier output power of 10 dBm, transmission fiber distance of 50 m, and the number of sampling points of the spectrometer of 501, the linear fit between the reflected spectral center wavelength and the mass of the weights is better than that of the control group. The linear fit of the studied model can reach up to 0.951 9, which is improved compared with that of the control group. Under the conditions of 501, 251, 167 and 126 spectral sampling points, the studied model can improve the linear fit of the system to 0.990 0, which is a maximum improvement of 0.258 7 compared with the maximum value method.【Conclusion】The analysis results show that the Gaussian process regression model optimized by the particle swarm is able to effectively improve the linear fit of the FBG stress sensing system.

【Objective】In order to solve the problem of the limited bandwidth of polarization insensitive optical power splitter, an ultra-broadband polarization insensitive optical power splitter based on Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) waveguide is proposed.【Methods】The ultra-broadband polarization insensitive optical power splitter is designed based on adiabatic coupling Si3N4 waveguide.Optical bandwidth of 300 nm (from 1 400 ~ 1 700 nm) is demonstrated for both Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes.【Results】Over the entire optical bandwidth, the losses for TE and TM mode are less than 0.10 and 0.15 dB, respectively.The footprint of the proposed ultra-broadband polarization insensitive optical power splitter is only 60.00 μm×2.75 μm, which means that the optical power splitter can be used for large-scale integration.Furthermore, the relationship between the performance and the structure parameters of the proposed optical power splitter is studied.【Conclusions】The results show that the performance of the optical power splitter maintains almost unchanged by varying the structure parameters with ±50 nm.In other words, the optical power splitter possesses large fabrication tolerance which can be easily fabricated.

【Objective】Single-photon detection and single-photon ranging systems have widespread applications in three-dimensional imaging and long-distance spatial remote sensing. However, device limitations and background noise from the sun light limit the application to only nighttime conditions.【Methods】We have improved traditional laser radar systems by implementing all-fiber optics systems with ultra-narrowband fiber optic filtering, leading to significantly improved system stability. By implementing mechanical motion control, we are able to attain single-photon imaging systems with ultra-wide scanning and ultra-high resolution. The systems can operate in optical environments that are typically challenging, such as daytime or foggy weather. Moreover, the laser radar system is designed based on the 1 550 nm wavelength which has good atmospheric penetration and low transmission loss, enhancing its ability to work in foggy and rainy conditions.【Results】In a foggy condition with a visibility of about 500 m, the system achieves three-dimensional imaging of objects 1.6 km away, which is a distance 3 times longer than the visibility at the time. The distance resolution can be significantly enhanced by optimizing the intensity and distance information of the histogram using the minimized negative logarithmic likelihood function, with the assistance of a high-resolution time/digital converter and the model constructed by the system response function of the laser radar. Compared to the maximum value method with a distance resolution of 0.05 m, this system achieves a distance resolution of 0.006 m via the minimized negative logarithmic likelihood function method. Additionally, the image normalization processing is performed to suppress fluctuations in photon technology and eliminate noise in the image. The 1 550 nm all-fiber laser radar system has strong mechanical stability and can work in adverse weather conditions.【Conclusion】It has significant application value in remote sensing and mapping, ground and vehicle-mounted laser radar, and other fields.

Zhixuan CHEN, Ju CAI, Hongbo ZHANG, Min ZHANG, Jianyu MENG, and Qianwu ZHANG

【Objective】In long-distance optical communication systems, compensating fiber nonlinear impairment through traditional Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is difficult due to intractable interactions between Kerr nonlinearity, chromatic dispersion and amplified spontaneous emission noise. Machine learning algorithm can be used to further process signals on the basis of traditional DSP to mitigate fiber nonlinear impairment and improve long-distance transmission performance.【Methods】In this paper, the traditional Digital Back Propagation (DBP) algorithm is combined with Deep Neural Network (DNN), where the linear step size and nonlinear step size in DBP are taken as one neuron. It means that the linear step size is taken as the weight matrix of DNN, the nonlinear step size is taken as the activation function, and DSP is taken as the static layer of DNN. A DNN-based Learned Digital Back Propagation (LDBP) algorithm is proposed.【Results】In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed LDBP algorithm, the simulation was carried out in a single-channel polarization division multiplexing 16-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) optical transmission system. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the 1-step-per-span LDBP algorithm improves the optimal launched power from -2 dBm to 1 dBm in compared to linear equalization. Meanwhile, compared with DBP with the same computational complexity, the proposed algorithm improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by 0.82 dB at the transmission distance of 1 200 km. In addition, compared with DBP with the same computational complexity and linear equalization, the SNR of the transmission system corresponding to LDBP method decreases more slowly with the increase of transmission distance, and the algorithm can work without knowing the link parameters, showing the characteristic of universality and robustness.【Conclusion】The proposed LDBP algorithm is more suitable for practical long-distance coherent optical communication system than the traditional DBP algorithm.

【Objective】The optical communication system working at the traditional telecommunication band is faced with "capacity crunch" with the rapidly development of optical communication technology. The acceptable loss of 0.2 dB/km (@2 μm) from the hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers as well as the high optical amplification gains (30 dB@2 μm) of thulium-doped fiber amplifiers (CTFA type) provides the potential for the 2 μm wavelength band to alleviate the communication "capacity crunch". As a result, the needs of the 2 μm silicon-based photodetectors is also raised due to its mature and convenient manufacture process. The main solutions of the silicon-based photodetectors include the usage of Ⅲ-Ⅴ compounds with tunable band gap, the introduction of low band gap width materials as absorption regions, the use of new absorption mechanism in optical absorbed material at the 2 μm wavelength band and so on. The Ge material has a high Two Photon Absorption (TPA) coefficient (1 225 GW/cm@2 μm). And the Ge-on-Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) photodetector is an excellent method to realize 2 μm optical signal detection, which is compatible with the standard silicon photonics device manufacturing process that has the advantages of low production difficulty and cost. The purpose of this paper is to verify the feasibility of the Ge-on-SOI photodetector to achieve 2 μm wavelength band photoelectric detection by using the special optical absorption mechanism of TPA.【Methods】In this paper, the photoelectric detection at the 2 μm wavelength band based on the physical absorption mechanism of current generated from high TPA of Ge material is realized. The quantification of the photocurrent generated by Ge material through TPA effect is analyzed and discussed in this paper. In the experimental test, we first apply a high power 2 μm wavelength band input light source magnified by thulium-doped fiber amplifiers to the input port (grating coupler) of the commercial waveguide-type Ge-on-SOI photodetector in the on-chip active silicon photonics device test system. Then we adjust the alignment of the optical fiber with the grating coupler and the input light polarization to reduce the optical transmission loss from the input optical fiber to the Ge absorption region. Finally, the TPA photocurrent of the on-chip photodetector is obtained by a probe.【Results】A net photogenerated current up to 651 nA and an estimated value of responsivity greater than 10 mA/W is obtained experimentally under a 2 μm wavelength optical input power of 21.9 dBm.【Conclusion】The work of this paper verifies the scientific feasibility of 2 μm waveband photodetector through the TPA effect of Ge material, and provides experimentally support for the design of the 2 μm wavelength band Ge-on-SOI photodetector based on TPA.

Runzhe FAN, Chao YANG, and Ming LUO

【Objective】In this paper, machine learning method is applied to 30 Tbit/s (60 × 500 Gbit/s) Nyquist Dual Polarization-16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (DP-16QAM) system after 6 300 km transmission in G. 654E optical fiber. Nonlinear channel equalization is used to reduce the transmission Bit Error Rate (BER).【Methods】Referring to the "receptive field" mechanism of convolution neural network, the size of "convolution core" is designed, and the data set is constructed according to the divided sampling data. The artificial neural network is constructed by optimizing the parameters. The one-to-one data corresponding to the transmission and reception of different wavelengths, different optical signal-to-noise ratios, and different fiber input powers in the C-band are collected. Refer to the classic full-connection neural network structure, the neural network is constructed according to the data structure of the data set. The network fitting is carried out for the real part and the imaginary part respectively. After training stage, the test data is sent into the network, and the performances are compared with the traditional methods.【Results】Two kinds of neural networks are used to fit the transmission BER under 60 different wavelength transmission conditions of C band frequency from 191.562 5 to 195.987 5 THz. Compared with Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE), Network 1 has an average reduction of 23% in BER, and Network 2 has an average reduction of 41% in BER. A frequency of 193.812 5 THz is then selected for the calculation of the fiber input power ranging from 14 to 19 dBm. The average improvement in network 1 and network 2 are 32% and 52%, respectively. Under different optical signal-to-noise ratios, Network 1 has an average improvement of 30%, and Network 2 has an average improvement of 57%.【Conclusion】The two neural networks have excellent performance in nonlinear equalization of coherent transmission systems. At the same time, the number of network layers and nodes will jointly affect the fitting results. Increasing the number of layers and nodes can obtain better fitting results, but the corresponding parameters, training time and the required space will also increase. Therefore, in the application, the actual situation should be considered to choose between the fitting performances and the model attributes.

The improved LSTM model with training by artificial datasets and measured datasets shows better correction results, compared with training by measured datasets. The mean of the RMSE for FBG spectrum decreases by 10.95%. The standard deviation of RMSE decreases by 4%. The measured datasets of FBG signal are corrected by the improved LSTM model, and the identification signal probability is increased by 50.5%.

Zijiao ZHANG, Wanquan LIU, Xu ZHANG, Zheng Lü, and Wei ZHUANG

【Objective】The light source of fiber grating sensing system provides energy for the system. The stable and continuous light source is crucial for the application of the whole demodulation system. When the Modulated Grating Y-branch (MG-Y) laser is used as the light source of the fiber grating demodulation system, it is necessary to solve the problem that it is difficult for the MG-Y laser to quickly obtain the stable and continuous tuning within the required specific wavelength range.【Methods】In order to obtain the stable and continuous wavelengths quickly for MG-Y lasers, the K-Means (KMeans) clustering model is proposed and applied to obtain high-quality current-wavelength Look Up Table (LUT) for MG-Y lasers.【Results】By combining the tuning characteristics of the MG-Y laser with the KMeans clustering model method, the centroid of the optimal tuning parameter curve in the phase tuning region of the LUT can be quickly obtained with time of about 18.26 s. Then, according to the tuning characteristics of the left, right and phase of the MG-Y laser itself, the fine tuning of the MG-Y laser wavelength can be achieved by uniform interpolation method. The LUT with the full tuning range is obtained from the KMeans clustering model, and the target LUT is selected at a certain interval. According to the output wavelength issued by the laser according to the target LUT, the mean value of the measured wavelength and the absolute value of the error of the target wavelength is 0.18 pm. The standard deviation of the absolute value of the error is 0.52 pm. Therefore, the MG-Y laser can be used as a stable light source for the fiber grating sensing system.【Conclusion】It is verified by experiments that the traditional manual search for each phase tuning region needs at least 30 min to find the centroid point. The same operation can be completed by KMeans clustering model method, which can greatly shorten the time to find the centroid point. Based on this method, the stable wavelength of quasi-continuous tuning can be achieved by controlling the MG-Y laser.

Kejun JIA, Yütong NAN, Boran YANG, and Shaobo WEI

【Objective】The symbol decomposition technique aims to decompose Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) symbols into multiple symbols with a small Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) to mitigate the non-linear effects of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). However, O-OFDM generates more decomposed symbols with a higher PAPR, thereby reducing the information rate and degrading the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance.【Methods】The proposed design of Precoding O-OFDM Adaptive Symbol Decomposition with Serial Transmission (PCO-OFDM-ASDST) system uses precoding scheme to reduce the PAPR of O-OFDM symbols. The proposed method can reduce the average number of symbol decompositions for adaptive symbol decomposition. The theoretical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) expressions are derived for multipath channels, and the performance of PAPR, BER, and information rate is analyzed using Monte Carlo BER simulations.【Results】The results demonstrate that under 4 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modulation in Asymmetrically Clipped Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) systems, the symbol power required for PCO-OFDM-ASDST is 7 dB less than that of Adaptive Symbol Decomposition with Serial Transmission (ASDST) when the BER is 10-4. Moreover, under 64QAM, the information rate can be increased by 10 Mbit/s when the symbol power is 20 dBm.【Conclusion】The results indicate that the PCO-OFDM-ASDST outperforms ASDST systems in terms of BER and information transmission rate.

【Objective】In the production test process of 50 Gbit/s Small Form Pluggable (SFP) 56 optical module, the number of instruments and equipment to be matched for the test is large. Therefore, the test instruments are used in isolation, and the test process is complex. These issues make the optical module test longer, and the test efficiency is relatively low. It brings a lot of inconvenience to the test personnel, and can not guarantee the consistency of the test products. The purpose of this paper is to enhance debugging and testing efficiency while alleviating testers' workload.【Methods】Python language and its robust third-party libraries, including the VISA and pyserial libraries, are utilized to develop an automatic testing system for SFP56 optical modules compatible with the Windows operating system.【Results】The system can debug and test the optical module automatically. The test instruments can be used in parallel, reducing the waste of time and resources. According to the test requirements, the optical module can also be tested step by step, which greatly improves the efficiency of the debugging and testing of the optical module in the production line. It can also reduce the requirements of the tester. The verification shows that compared with the traditional optical module test, the test time of each optical module is saved by about 70 s, which greatly improves the test efficiency of the optical module. In the optical module test, the result deviation caused by human operation is avoided, and the product consistency can be guaranteed.【Conclusion】In comparison to Labview-based automatic optical module testing systems, which are currently prevalent in the market, the system designed in this study is more scalable and convenient for upgrades and maintenance. Moreover, it can be expanded to support optical module testing at speeds of 100, 200, 400, and 800 Gbit/s, thus laying a technical foundation for future high-speed optical module testing.

【Objective】In order to solve the problem of cross sensitivity of temperature and strain in Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing, the response characteristics of temperature and strain in each mode of Few Mode Fiber (FMF)-FBG were studied in this paper. A four-mode FBG temperature and strain dual parameter sensor was also proposed.【Methods】The basic mode and a few higher modes can be transmitted simultaneously in the low-mode fiber, taking into account the advantages of low mode dispersion of Single Mode Fiber (SMF) and low nonlinearity of multi-mode fiber, which can be used for sensing multiple physical quantities at the same time. By analyzing the different optical power sensitivity of the LP01 mode in the FMF-FBG at different temperatures, and considering the good linearity of wavelength, temperature and strain under this mode.

Huiqin WANG, Feng ZHI, Dan CHEN, Minghua CAO, Zhongxian BAO, and Yunpeng DUAN

【Objective】The use of random mapping and traditional constellations in Optical-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) - Index Modulation (IM) system cannot reach the optimal Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. Therefore, a step-by-step optimal signal mapping method is proposed based on the optimal selection of active sub-carriers and the optimal rotation of constellation to improve the BER performance of O-OFDM-IM system.【Methods】At the transmitter side, the method firstly selects the optimal combination of active subcarriers based on the channel state information and the channel norm maximization criterion. Then considering ?=0.5° as the step size, an exhaustive search algorithm is used to obtain the optimal constellation by using the channel state information. Next, the optimal constellation graph obtained by rotation is loaded on the active sub-carrier for signal transmission. At last, the Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection algorithm is used to recover the original signal at the receiver to minimize the system error probability.【Results】The results show that at the condition of BER=10-4 and strong turbulence, the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is improved by about 1.45 dB when the modulation order is 16 in (4, 2) system. In addition, with the increase of turbulence intensity, the improvement of BER performance is more obvious. For example, when the BER=10-4 the SNR of the (4, 2) system at 8 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is improved by about 1.35 dB in strong turbulence and 1.2 dB in weak turbulence.【Conclusion】Based on the known channel state information, a step-by-step optimal signal mapping method for O-OFDM-IM is proposed in this paper, which can effectively improve the BER performance of the system in strong turbulence channels.

【Objective】There is a problem that traditional unrepeatered transmission system need to use disturbed Raman amplifier and remote optical pump amplifier, while both of these two amplifiers need to use high power pump laser which will increase the complexity of fiber link in unrepeatered transmission system. In this paper, we propose a new structure of unrepeatered transmission system using Erbium Doped Optical Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) to replace the forward disturbed Raman amplifier.【Methods】We analyze and compare the performance of the proposed unrepeatered transmission system, and realize a real-time unrepeatered transmission experiment with the proposed structure.【Results】The results show that the gain effect of forward Raman pump in traditional unrepeatered communication system can be achieved by using high power amplifier to increase the signal launch power, and the new structure of unrepeatered transmission system is more suitable to achieve higher bitrate with the help of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. We confirm the unrepeatered transmission system can achieve 500 km span distance at 10 Gbit/s bit rate in single channel communication transmission, and 500 km span distance at 4×10 Gbit/s bit rate in the WDM technology.【Conclusion】The proposed unrepeatered transmission system can simplify the traditional unrepeatered transmission system, and increase the bit rate by using multi-channel WDM system with EDFA. It has important practical significance to simplify the structure and improve the bit rate in future unrepeatered transmission system.

Two-mode Single-channel 1 000 km MDM Transmission based on FMF
Xinyi WANG, Chen WANG, Kaihui WANG, Junjie DING, Bowen ZHU, Lei SHEN, Lei ZHANG, Ruichun WANG, Changkun YAN, Bo LIU, and Jianjun YU

【Objective】With the continuous emergence of information-based bandwidth-consuming services such as 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G), the Internet of Things, and cloud computing, people’s demand for high-speed information transmission has increased dramatically. However, due to the inherent nonlinear effects, the transmission capacity of single-mode optical fiber has approached the Shannon limit, and it will no longer be able to meet people’s needs for ultra-high-speed and large-capacity transmission. Solving the transmission capacity problem has become a top priority. In order to solve the needs of large-capacity communication systems and long-distance high-speed transmission problems, we have built a two-mode single-channel C-band Few Mode Fiber (FMF) transmission system.【Methods】At the transmitting end, an arbitrary waveform generator is used to convert the digital signal into an electrical signal and drive the In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) modulator to modulate the optical carrier. The modulated signal is transmitted simultaneously using two multiplexing technologies: Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) and Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM). In order to achieve long-distance transmission of dual-mode signals of 1 000 km, we construct a dual-circulation loop system. Each time the signal passes through the loop, it will pass through a 50 km FMF. After being transmitted to the target distance, the coupler outputs the signal to the demultiplexing module, and the coherent optical receiver performs homodyne detection on the demultiplexed modulated signal. Finally, the transmitted signal is stored in an oscilloscope for offline Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The signal is sequentially subjected to frequency domain dispersion compensation, downsampling, clock recovery, and least mean square algorithm to restore the original signal.【Results】It was found that within the range of Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) of each channel in the experiment, the Bit Error Rate (BER) under low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is close to the theoretical channel result. Under high SNR condition, the BER is 1×10-2, which is 2.5 dB away from the theoretical value. We test the BER of LP11a and LP11b modes at Back-To-Back (BTB) and 250, 500, 750 and 1 000 km transmission cases respectively. The BER at all distances are lower than the Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) soft decision threshold with 28% redundancy (5.2×10-2 Soft Decision - Forward Error Correction (SD-FEC)). The BER after 1 000 km transmission in the two modes are 1.7×10-2 and 1.8×10-2 respectively, and the total net transmission rate is 400 Gbit/s.【Conclusion】This article demonstrates the transmission of a 32 Gbaud MDM-PDM-16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) C-band signal in a 1 000 km two-mode single-channel FMF system. At the receiving end, the advanced Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)-DSP algorithm is used for channel equalization, and the obtained two-mode BER of 1.7×10-2 and 1.8×10-2 are both lower than the LDPC SD-FEC threshold with 28% redundancy.

Xianjun ZHOU, Ru WANG, Hang LIU, and Bo JIN

【Objective】It is always difficult to timely locate the location of the network attack and achieve rapid deployment of defense strategies when the smart grid is attacked by the network.【Methods】In order to solve this problem, this article proposes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that integrates Convolutional Block Attention Modules (CBAM) (CNN-CBAM) to detect False Data Injection Attack (FDIA) positions. The attack identification problem of FDIA is modeled as a multi label classification problem, where CNN is used to extract spatial features of the data. The CBAM module can be directly integrated into the convolution operation of the CNN module, which not only focuses on important parameter information from the perspective of spatial domain, but also considers feature relationships in the channel domain, and allocates attention to the input data from two dimensions to improve the performance of the model.【Results】The performance of the proposed CNN-CBAM network FDIA position detection model is verified on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 14 and IEEE118 node systems. The experimental results show that the FDIA position detection rates of CNN-CBAM on IEEE14 and IEEE118 node systems are 98.25%and 96.72%, respectively.【Conclusion】Compared with other methods, the CNN-CBAM network model proposed in this paper can effectively extract the spatiotemporal characteristics between data, with improved existence of FDIA. It also im-proves the accuracy of attack location identification with better robustness.

【Objective】Replenishing the power supply system of an underwater communication system is usually very expensive and impractical. The underwater Simultaneous Light-wave Information and Power Transmission (SLIPT) communication systems based on solar cells are powerful solutions. However, the communication bandwidth of the silicon solar cell receiver is very limited, and it is easy to have the phenomenon of deep fading of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) due to the underwater light attenuation effect.【Methods】For these problems, this manuscript employs a negative-biased solar cell light receiver scheme that increases the-3 dB bandwidth of silicon solar cells from 420 kHz to 768 kHz. Aiming at the deep fading of SNR caused by various degradation effects in the water environment, a Discrete Fourier Transfor (DFT) extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme with a low peak-average power ratio is adopted to offset the deep fading phenomenon in the system.【Results】The performance of DFT Spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM) and OFDM modulation systems in water environments with different turbidity (absorption and scattering characteristics) is compared. It is shown that the DFT-S-OFDM modulation and demodulation system is more robust.【Conclusion】Finally, experiments have shown that the total battery power efficiency of the energy harvesting system can be increased by 1.87 times under continuous illumination of white LEDs for 3 h, realizing synchronized energy harvesting in the communication process.

Tai LIU, Tingting LI, Deqiang LIU, Chao HAN, and Jiaxin Lü

【Objective】This paper discusses full lifecycle energy efficiency of optical communication systems in the purpose of energy conservation and carbon reduction. It aims to establish a universal model for description of energy efficiency, which covers all stages of system lifecycle, and it is not limited to specific technologies or network structures. It also analyzes the key influencing factors for improvement of energy efficiency of optical communication systems.【Methods】This paper explores the useful work and energy consumption of optical communication systems, to establish a universal model for energy efficiency. In the expression of useful work, in addition to the commonly used factor data rate, distance factor is introduced as an important factor. The paper recommends that the value generated by data transmissions which meet specific quality requirements and maintaining network connectivity in specific scenario applications should be considered in the description of the useful efficacy. The description method is named as comprehensive useful efficacy. In the discussion of energy consumption, the system lifecycle is decomposed into four stages: manufacturing, installation and construction, operation and maintenance, and waste recycling. Main influencing factors of energy efficiency improvement are discussed based on the established model.【Results】Main results of the research include: (1) Distance factor can be one of the main factors for evaluating the useful work of a system, and distance factors affect energy consumption at various stages of the system's lifecycle; (2) For new scenarios and applications, setting weights for data transmissions which meet specific quality requirements and assigning values for maintaining connectivities status in description of the system useful work could reflect the value brought by the energy cost of the system to meet the needs of scenario applications; (3) Energy consumption factors of each stage of the life cycle should be considered in evaluation of energy consumption of the full lifecycle, and the energy consumption of each stage should be converted into unit time based on the system operating life for accumulation; (4) Optimized network topology and routing design, reduction of line losses, as well as evolution of optical transmission technology and equipment/facility energy saving technologies, are important means to reduce energy consumptions throughout the entire lifecycle of the system and improve the energy efficiency.【Conclusion】This paper discusses the comprehensive useful work and full life cycle energy consumption of optical communication systems, and establishes a universal model to describe the full life cycle energy efficiency of the system. This model takes distance as an important influencing factor in the expression of the useful efficiency and also energy consumption of the system, which corresponds the value of the optical communication system based on communication distance with the energy consumption in the life-cycle caused by distances. It also suggests considering the value generated by data transmissions which meet specific quality requirements and maintaining network connectivity in the evaluation of the useful efficiency. This model could comprehensively evaluate the energy efficiency of optical communication systems, for improvements of system energy efficiency, and could adapt and promote applications of optical communication systems in new scenarios.

Design and Study of Memory Polynomial-based Volterra Hybrid Equalizer
Kejun JIA, Lei LEI, Ying LIN, and Caihong YU

【Objective】The non-linear characteristics of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) contribute to the degradation of Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems, particularly in Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) systems with high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A single-stage equalizer based on the Volterra series can handle the high-order non-linear distortions of LEDs with low latency. However, solving the traditional Volterra series necessitates multiple integration operations, resulting in the high implementation complexity of the Volterra-based equalizer. Additionally, the single-stage equalizer accumulates errors with limited performance improvements.【Methods】Firstly, to address the issue of high computational complexity in the traditional calculations of the Volterra series, a proposition is made to retain only the high-order power series terms of the various nonlinear terms and kernel coefficients within the Volterra series. This approach, known as the Memory Polynomial-based Volterra Series (MPVS), not only reduces the computational complexity compared to the traditional Volterra series but also enhances the accuracy of nonlinear system modeling by considering all input signals at the current moment. Subsequently, the design of channel equalizer considers the Memory Polynomial-based Volterra (MPV) equalizer and the Memory Polynomial-based Volterra Decision Feedback Equalizer (MPV-DFE). For a single-stage MPV-DFE, if an error occurs in the decision part leading to an incorrect symbol decoding, this error tends to manifest as a consecutive series of errors, thereby impacting the entire symbol sequence. To mitigate this, a proposal is made to cascade the two non-linear equalizers, MPV and MPV-DFE, forming a hybrid equalizer called MPV+MPV-DFE. The MPV equalizer performs a primary equalization on the LED's nonlinear distortion signal, effectively suppressing a portion of the non-linear distortions and thereby reducing symbol decoding errors in the MPV-DFE. Subsequently, a secondary equalization is carried out by the MPV-DFE, leading to improved suppression of residual nonlinear distortions.【Results】Finally, the effectiveness of the system design was validated using Monte Carlo simulation to analyze the BER. The results demonstrate that compared to the single-stage MPV equalizer and the linear-cascade nonlinear hybrid equalizer (LMS+MPV-DFE), the proposed hybrid equalizer achieves approximately 7 dB and 2 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) gains, respectively, in a 4 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) -modulated Asymmetrically Clipped Optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM) system at a BER of 10-4.【Conclusion】In conclusion, the implementation of the MPV equalizer is straightforward, and the cascaded design of the two-stage nonlinear equalizers as a hybrid equalizer enables better mitigation of the LED’s nonlinearity.

Xinyi LI, Zhibin XIE, Jinbo ZHANG, and Yunlong MAO

【Objective】With the development of the sixth generation mobile communication technology, the inter-carrier interference in the traditional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system makes the channel estimation performance insufficient to provide highly reliable communication, and Orthogonal Time-Frequency Space (OTFS) system can effectively solve the problem of communication system reliability degradation caused by fast time variability and Doppler effect, which has received wide attention in recent years.【Methods】In order to effectively meet the channel estimation performance requirements of OTFS systems, this paper uses an Optimized Generalized Complex Exponential (OGCE) Basis Expansion Model (BEM) to calculate the channel impulse response as a time-invariant basis function with basis function coefficients, which can effectively fit fast time-varying channels in high-speed mobile communication scenarios. The OGCE-BEM improves the spectral leakage by more intensive sampling and reduces the error of the high-frequency basis model by adding correction coefficients to reduce the error of the HF-based model.【Results】The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable for high-speed mobile communication scenarios with more reasonable design of the basis function. The estimation method has lower mean square error than the fixed forgetting factor, and the channel estimation results are more accurate. Compared with Least Square (LS), BEM-LS and BEM-Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) channel estimation methods, the performance of mean square error is significantly improved.【Conclusion】It can be seen that the channel estimation algorithm based on OGCE-BEM can effectively reduce the number of unknown parameters to be estimated and improve the accuracy of channel estimation.

Signed Optical Quadrature Spatial Modulation in Free Space Optical Communication
Hui ZHAO, Liang LIU, Lili HAN, Yulin QIN, and Junnan LI

【Objective】Aiming at the problems of low spectral efficiency and limited system throughput in Optical Quadrature Spatial Modulation (OQSM), a Signed Optical Quadrature Spatial Modulation (SOQSM) scheme is proposed in Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) in this paper. In addition, in view of the fact that the channel used in the performance analysis of OQSM is not suitable for all turbulence, this paper also adopts the Málaga channel, which is suitable for all turbulence intensities to analyze the bit error performance of the system.【Methods】First, the scheme divides the input binary bit stream into five parts at the sending end. The first part is used for constellation symbol mapping, and the last four parts are used for laser mapping. Then, the constellation symbol mapping is used to transmit the real and imaginary parts of the constellation symbol and its inverse symbol. The laser mapping is divided into two parts, the in-phase phase and the quadrature phase, which are used to activate the laser sequence mapping. Finally, after transmitting through the channel, the signal received and processed at the receiving end.【Results】Compared with OQSM, SOQSM carries an additional2log2Nt bits of information in the space domain within a transmission period. The upper bound of the average bit error rate is then calculated in the symbol domain and the space domain respectively. Finally, the upper bound of the average bit error rate of the SOQSM scheme is obtained, and the method of calculating the upper bound of the average bit error rate has good convergence. This solution greatly improves the spectral efficiency and transmission rate of the system, and has good bit error rate performance.【Conclusion】The Monte Carlo simulation results show that compared with Optical Spatial Modulation (OSM) and OQSM, the bit error performance of the SOQSM scheme is better when the spectral efficiency is the same. The bit error rate can reach 10-6 when the signal-to-noise ratio is 16dB. When the modulation order is the same, the bit error performance of SOQSM is better, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio is high. It is also shown that the simulation and theory fit well. In the Málaga channel, the bit error rate performance of the weak turbulence is better. In addition, different turbulence intensities have little influence on the trend of the bit error rate performance of the SOQSM scheme. However, with the increase of the signal-to-noise ratio, the influence will gradually increase. Therefore, SOQSM has better bit error rate performance than OQSM and OSM.

Wenjing GAO, and Guanjun GAO

【Objective】Undersea optical cable plays a leading role in international communication. In the planning of undersea optical cable communication system, several groups of possible schemes are often determined according to experience. The scheme with relatively better transmission performance and investment cost is then selected. However, with the development of communication equipment and communication technology, the number of optional modulation formats and optical fibers keeps are increasing. The number of alternative schemes is too large to quickly determine the optimal scheme. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a cost optimization model of undersea optical cable communication system to solve the cost optimal scheme.【Methods】Aiming at the problem of system planning and configuration in the undersea optical cable communication system, a cost optimization model considering the parameters of transmission performance, transmission capacity and supply voltage is established by taking the span length, optical fiber type, number of optical fiber pairs, repeater output power, modulation format and number of practical channels as the variables. The cascaded-lexicographic method is used to solve the cost optimization model.【Results】The results show that the difference between the planning results of the proposed optimization algorithm and full traversal algorithm are no more than 0.34%. However, the number of operations of the optimization algorithm proposed in this paper is far less than that of the full traversal algorithm, with only 1/100 of that of the full traversal algorithm. Secondly, the number of operations of the cascade genelexicography method is less affected by the range of variables than that of the total traversal method. Finally, by comparing the optimal cost of the undersea cable communication system under different span length, it is found that the planning results have no regularity.【Conclusion】The variables always influence each other. The optimal cost design of the system cannot be obtained according to experience, so it needs to establish a model. The algorithm used in this paper is not only accurate, but also uses fewer operation times.

Nonlinear Mutation Frequency Interference Detection Algorithm for All Optical Communication Networks
Ning AN

【Objective】When analyzing the nonlinear mutation frequency interference problem in all optical communication networks, interference detection mainly relies on estimating channel covariance directly, without expanding network communication signal transformation processing, resulting in low F1-score values of the detection results. Therefore, a nonlinear abrupt frequency interference detection algorithm based on finite difference time domain is proposed for all-optical communication networks.【Methods】We collect all optical communication network traffic data by combining packet capturing and mirroring methods, followed by cleaning, conversion, and protocol processing. Relying on the working principle of finite difference time-domain method, we first describe the time width and bandwidth of the signal in time-domain and frequency-domain space. Then we apply derivative and Fourier transform algorithm to transform the real-time collected network communication signal. Next, we use the transformed signal to analyze the nonlinear abrupt frequency interference. Finally the transformed signal is detected and analyzed. With the aid of the time-frequency joint feature analysis method, the time-domain and frequency-domain features of the interference signal are extracted. Relying on the back propagation algorithm and the minimization of the loss function, the detection process of nonlinear abrupt frequency interference is simplified. The characteristic distance function is used to replace the network loss function, and it is input into the interference recognition model based on the twin network to obtain the detection results of nonlinear abrupt frequency interference.【Results】The experimental results show that under different noise conditions, the F1-score value of the proposed algorithm's nonlinear mutation frequency interference detection results remains above 0.95. The detection time is less than 40 ms.【Conclusion】The new detection method using the finite difference time-domain method can more accurately reflect the interference situation of the current communication network. It ensures the normal operation of the communication network, and meets the interference detection requirements of all-optical communication network.

【Objective】In Free Space Optical (FSO) communication, atmospheric turbulence can cause a decrease in communication link performance.【Methods】In this paper, a polar coding channel coding scheme is proposed for this problem, and Monte Carlo algorithm is used to construct polar codes for Gamma-Gamma distribution atmospheric turbulence channels commonly used in FSO communication. By comparing the Block Error Rates (BER) of the proposed polar coding scheme, uncoded transmission, and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes with similar code lengths under Gamma-Gamma distribution atmospheric turbulence channels.【Results】The simulation results show that when the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is greater than 6.7 dB in weak turbulence, 10.3 dB in moderate turbulence, and 11.5 dB in strong turbulence, the proposed polar coding scheme performs better than uncoded transmission. Compared with LDPC codes, under weak turbulence conditions, when the SNR is greater than 7.1 dB, the overall performance of the proposed polar coding scheme is better than that of LDPC codes. Under moderate turbulence conditions, when the SNR is greater than 10.6 dB, the overall performance of the proposed polar coding scheme is better than that of LDPC codes. Under strong turbulence conditions, when the SNR is greater than 12 dB, the overall performance of the proposed polar coding scheme is better than that of LDPC codes. In addition, it is found that when the code length is short, the code rate is low, and the decoding width is small, the proposed polar coding scheme has better performance.【Conclusion】The use of the proposed polar coding scheme effectively improves the atmospheric turbulence effect in FSO communication systems. Moreover, in the harsh atmospheric turbulence channel environment of moderate and high turbulence intensities, the proposed polar coding scheme exhibits more obvious advantages than LDPC codes. This indicates that polar codes have good development prospects in FSO communication.

Liuzhu WANG, Zhilong ZHENG, Yuling XUE, Shaohua HU, Jing ZHANG, and Kun QIU

【Objective】In Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) system, in order to achieve mode demultiplexing, it is necessary to adopt Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) equalization scheme at the receiving end. As the number of transmission modes or transmission capacity increases, the computational complexity of MIMO increases significantly, resulting in high power consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the computational complexity of MIMO equalization.【Methods】We propose a frequency-domain joint equalization technique based on Cyclic Prefix (CP) to reduce the complexity compared with a traditional frequency-domain independent equalization and a separate dispersion compensation module in few-mode fiber short-range transmission systems.【Results】Based on the few-mode fiber model in VPI simulation platform, we build a 6×6 few-mode fiber transmission system to verify the advantage of computational complexity reduction of the proposed technology. The simulation results show that, the performance and computational complexity reduction of different CP ratios are also different. Under the same simulation conditions, when the proportion of CP is larger, the reduction of computational complexity is also larger, vice versa. With the same performance, the computational complexity of the frequency-domain equalization scheme with CP accounting for 11.11%is only 15.29%of that of the traditional frequency-domain equalization scheme based on block convolution.【Conclusion】Compared with the traditional frequency-domain equalization combined with a separate dispersion compensation module, the proposed frequency-domain equalization with CP has lower computational complexity.

【Objective】In the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, the time delay and power consumption requirements of Narrowband (NB) -IoT terminal in wide coverage area vary due to different business scenarios. However, the ground NB-IoT terminal with a single business scenario adopts a fixed working state timer parameter configuration method, which cannot meet the needs of time delay and power consumption for multi-scenario terminals in large geographical areas of LEO satellite IoT.【Methods】In response to the wide coverage characteristics of LEO satellite IoT, the problem of different delay and power consumption requirements for terminal multi-scenario application services in LEO satellite IoT scenarios, this article proposes a method based on a simplified interaction process and Markov chain model for terminal work state switching. The method uses system downlink delay and terminal power consumption as Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms-Ⅱobjective functions to obtain a set of Pareto optimal solutions for multiple scenario frontiers. Furthermore, it selects working state timer parameters from the Pareto frontier to configure terminals online that meet different scenario delay and power consumption requirements.【Results】The simulation results show that the multi-objective optimization method proposed in this paper can globally optimize the timing parameters of the working state timer, and overcome the shortcomings of traditional methods such as exhaustive search falling into local optima. Additionally, it has been verified that simplifying the random access interaction process can effectively reduce terminal delay and power consumption.【Conclusion】The multi-objective optimization method proposed in this paper can obtain the working state timer parameters of the terminal in various scenarios of LEO satellite IoT.

Jiaqi HUANG, and Hui ZOU

In recent years, high quality factor echo wall mode optical microcavities have developed rapidly and become a hot research topic in the fields of optics and physics. Optical microcavity is a kind of micro optical element. Due to its small size and high-quality factor, it can enhance the interaction between light and matter, enabling long-time light stays. Echo wall mode resonators are one of the typical representatives of optical microcavities, with advantages of small size, high sensitivity, and long life. Currently, applications based on echo wall mode resonators are mainly concentrated in various fields such as sensors, lasers, filters, and so on. However, current research on echo wall mode resonators has not yet achieved large-scale production, and is only in the laboratory research stage. Industrial production still has shortcomings such as high cost and manufacturing process difficulties. This article focuses on the research progress of echo wall mode resonators, expounds the impact of echo wall materials on Q values, and discusses the applications of echo wall mode resonators in the fields of sensors, lasers, and filters in recent years. It also proposes the challenges and further research directions of echo wall mode resonators in the future, which may realize all-optical networks. For further research directions, we believe that it is necessary to reduce costs, shorten time, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the preparation process. It is also necessary to solve the coupling problem between the microcavity and the optical device, improving the coupling efficiency and the anti-interference ability. It should also address the sensitivity of the cavity to the environment to ensure that the microcavity has good stability when preparing devices such as filters.

Chao ZHENG, Dexin QU, and Gengxin ZHANG

【Objective】With the continuous development of satellite technology, the application of satellites to low coverage areas of ground information networks for personnel search and rescue is becoming increasingly popular. As an effective means of indicating the location of personnel and facilities, satellite search and rescue positioning technology is widely used in maritime, aviation, and personal distress rescue operations. Therefore, in the continuous development and research of global satellite search and res-cue systems, achieving high-precision and rapid positioning of search and rescue sources is the main goal.【Methods】In view of the sudden characteristics of satellite search and rescue signals, dual-satellite Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) positioning are adopted as the satellite search and rescue positioning methods. The estimation of the required TDOA and FDOA parameters is the key to improve the positioning accuracy. In order to improve the parameter estimation performance and positioning accuracy of dual-satellite TDOA and FDOA positioning technology, this paper proposes a search and rescue positioning technology scheme based on time-frequency difference estimation of windowed Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF). The method of filtering redundant noise by adding windows in time domain is introduced, and the accuracy of time-frequency difference estimation is improved by adding windows in time domain and CAF. The estimated value is substituted into dual-satellite TDOA and FDOA positioning equations to calculate the location of the search and rescue signal source. It means that the purpose of improving the positioning accuracy is to efficiently and accurately find the search/rescue source by improving the estimation accuracy of TDOA/FDOA parameters.【Results】The simulation results show that the method of estimating the TDOA/FDOA parameters of CAF with windows can be applied to search and rescue positioning, and the accurate time-frequency difference estimation value can be obtained through this method. The method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the accuracy of time-frequency difference parameter estimation, and add Fourier transform to reduce the time of parameter estimation, thus optimizing the positioning performance.

Yuqi WANG, Shiyu JIANG, Ziwei LIU, and Gengxin ZHANG

【Objective】With the development of the space-ground integrated information network, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication system is ushering in a development boom. The Paired Carrier Multiple Access (PCMA) technology is gradually developing to the low-orbit satellite communication due to its advantages of saving bandwidth resources. However, traditional PCMA technology is mostly used in high-orbit satellites, and cannot adapt to the highly dynamic fading channel character-istics of low-orbit satellite channels, which greatly degrades the bit error performance of the PCMA receiver. The bottleneck lies in the channel estimation and equalization technologies for overlapping signals.【Methods】Aiming at the channel characteristics of LEO satellites, this paper proposes a channel estimation scheme that combines training sequence estimation and Autoregressive (AR) model prediction. Based on the idea of superimposed training sequence channel estimation, an iterative method suitable for PCMA mixed signal channel estimation is introduced to improve the accuracy of training sequence channel estimation through iteration. The AR model is used to predict the Channel State Information (CSI) of the data sequence in real time. The use of AR model can also reduce the frequency of channel estimation in training sequences, so as to adapt to the dynamics of LEO satellite channels.【Results】The simulation results show that the idea of superimposed training sequence channel estimation can be applied to the PCMA signals, and accurate channel estimation can be obtained after iterations. The method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the accuracy of channel estimation. After signal separation and demodulation, the bit error rate can reach the order of 10-3when the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 9 dB.【Conclusion】A channel estimation method for PCMA signal is proposed in this paper. The simulation results show that the bit error rate loss is within an acceptable range, which can support the application of PCMA technology in low-orbit satellite communication. The proposed algorithm has the advantages of simple structure, low complexity, and high practical value.

【Objective】With the continuous advancements in satellite and communication technologies, the integration of space laser communication and ranging technology becomes more mature. As deep space exploration, satellite navigation, and other fields continue to develop, there is a growing demand for higher communication capacity and ranging accuracy between satellites. Thus, the need to achieve laser satellite high-speed communication while completing ranging and further improving ranging accuracy, under the premise of considering satellite payload and power consumption, has become an urgent issue.【Methods】This article designs and implements a coherent communication and ranging integrated system that supports both QPSK and BPSK, based on the principle of dual one way ranging. To further improve the ranging performance, the differential time sampling method is used to obtain the frequency difference and phase difference between the sending clock and the receiving clock through frequency and phase discrimination, thereby achieving higher clock accuracy and correcting the ranging value.【Results】The system can operate stably in an environment where the received optical power is greater than-48 dBm.

The theoretical ranging accuracy of the system can reach a minimum of 53 ps. In normal communication, using Matlab and Vivado to calculate and process ranging data, the ranging accuracy of the system is verified to be less than 0.1 ns. Furthermore, using the differential time sampling method under simulation conditions, the ranging accuracy can be improved to the order of 10-3 of the symbol width, reaching±0.36 cm.【Conclusion】The proposed communication and ranging integrated system can achieve high-precision ranging while achieving high-speed communication, which is of practical significance for future applications of laser satellites.

Hailong LIAO, Guodong WANG, Hua MIAO, and Guoping ZHANG

【Objective】In this paper, an ultra-low power consumption optical transmitter is developed to broaden the application of optical communication in short-reach interconnection such as board level and backplane level. The basic principle of the scheme is that the Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) laser generates an optical pulse signal after loading a bias current and a modulation signal through a Bias-T circuit.【Methods】In this work, the feasibility of the scheme is verified by means of simulation. It is also found that the main factors affecting the increase of the transmission rate are the parasitic parameters of the laser device and the impedance matching of the drive circuit. The two electrical transmission distances of 200 and 10 mm are studied by experiments. And the law of eye diagram quality and bit error rate as a function of driving voltage and bias current is studied through experiments under two electrical transmission distances.【Results】The results show that a larger effective extinction ratio ranging from 0.84 to 6.69 dB can be obtained by shortening the electrical transmission distance to 10 mm with the minimum differential driving voltage of 200 mV, the minimum bias current of 15 mA, and the power consumption of 1.2 mW/Gbit/s. Compared with traditional optical modules, the power consumption of optical transmission is reduced by about 80%.【Conclusion】This optical transmitter solution can be applied to intra-data center. Combined with low-power optical receivers, the overall power consumption of the data center can be significantly reduced.

【Objective】Due to its comb filter characteristics, Sampled optical Fiber Bragg Grating (SFBG) has attracted wide-spread attention and become a new focus in the research of optical fiber grating technology. The research work on designing optical filters with high channel numbers, flat tops, and narrow pass bands is of great importance in practical situation. Consequently, an Multi-Phase Shift Interpolated Sampling optical Fiber Grating (MPS-ISFBG) filter is proposed.【Methods】ISFBG has a large number of reflection channels and can introduce multiple flat top narrow transmission channels by inserting multi-phase shift. By optimizing the location of the two π phase-shift distributions of the inserted ISFBGs, an optical filters with 41 transmission channels was designed which covers the C-band with a channel interval of 100 GHz. Each channel has a flat-top response, a narrow 3 dB bandwidth (<1 GHz) and a small shape factor (<3.2). With structure parameters unchanged, three π phase shifts are inserted, which can further reduce the shape factor, thus improving the rectangular shape of the transmission channel. Finally, doubling the number of channels with half of the channel interval is achieved by introducing the MPS technique and inserting three π phase shifts into the ISFBG.【Results】The filter with 81 channels flat-top narrow bandwidth covering the C-bands with 50 GHz channel spacing is demonstrated. The 3-dB bandwidths of the multiple channels are 900.5 MHz and the shape factors are close to 2.17. Meanwhile, the effect of the magnitude of the multiphase shift, the location and the equivalent length of the fiber on the actual fabrication is discussed.【Conclusion】The designed filter has a large number of channels. Each channel has a flat-top response and narrow bandwidth, in line with the design purpose. Such filters have potential applications in multi-wavelength lasers and multi-wave microwave signal processing systems.

【Objective】This paper studies numerical characteristics and characteristic matrix of attenuation spectrum of G.652.D single-mode optical fibres, and considers the attenuation factor to optimize the mathematical expression of optical fibre attenuation spectrum model. The study aims to improve the digital modeling ability of optical fibre attenuation spectrum for research and manufacturing of optical fibre and development of optical system.【Methods】ITU-T G.650.1(2020) provides an example matrix for use in the "spectral attenuation modelling" method to calculate attenuation spectrum of G.652.D single-mode optical fibres. This paper analyzes and demonstrates that the spectral attenuation model method could approximately obtain optical fibre attenuation spectrum with low error by characteristic matrix corresponds to four wavelengths. An optimized attenuation spectrum characteristic matrix is given by considering sources of attenuation, and the effect of the new matrix is verified with attenuation spectrum test data of 1000 fibre samples.【Results】Main research results of this paper include: (1) When there is a good correspondence between the wavelengths corresponding to the fibre attenuation spectrum characteristic matrix and main attenuation sources of G.652.D fibre, the spectral attenuation model method is able to approximate the fibre attenuation spectrum with small errors; (2) An attenuation spectrum characteristic matrix of G.652.D single mode fibre is calculated based on attenuation sources of the fibre, and this matrix is able to reflect mechanism of fibre attenuation better, compared to the characteristic matrix calculated solely from data; (3) Verification with test data of optical fibre samples shows that the new matrix could calculate the attenuation spectrum of optical fibre samples with comparable small errors.【Conclusion】This paper studies and concludes that the reason why the spectral attenuation model method is able to approximate the optical fibre attenuation spectrum is that the corresponding wavelengths of the characteristic matrix has a good correspondence with main attenuation sources of the optical fibre. Combining with the attenuation sources, optimized characteristic matrix can be calculated. The new matrix could reflect the mechanism of the optical fibre attenuation and also effectively calculate the attenuation spectrum of the optical fibre samples with small errors.

【Objective】For the problem of limited sensing distance of distributed optical fiber sensing system, a Phase-Sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (φOTDR)distributed optical fiber sensing system based on Remote Optically Pumped Amplifier (ROPA) technology was proposed.【Methods】Adopting polarization diversity reception technology to obtain orthogonal polarization signals to solve the problem of polarization mismatch, Frequency division band processing suppresses coherent fading and polarization fading. Applying high-order Raman pumping technology and cascaded ROPA technology, three remote gain units are selected with appropriate gain medium lengths. Introduced at the appropriate positions in the transmission link, the pump light and signal light are coupled and sent by the remote pumping unit to excite erbium ionst for unrepeatered amplification, realizing ultra long single span vibration signal sensing and solving the problem of insufficient single-span sensing distance of existing φOTDR.【Results】The experimental results show that In-phase and Quadrate (IQ) demodulation algorithm can be used to achieve linear recovery of Piezoelectric Transducer (PZT) disturbed 100 Hz signal.【Conclusion】The results show that this system can achieve vibration signal sensing of 176.6 km ultra long single span, breaking the existing φOTDR single span sensing distance recording.

Risk-aware Optical Network Service Restoration Algorithm under Persistent Disasters
Xuerang GUO, Yike JIANG, Yaping LI, Qiang ZHANG, Meng LIAN, and Yongli ZHAO

【Objective】Natural disasters such as earthquakes have the characteristics of persistence and wide range. During the occurrence of disasters, the link resources of the optical network will be continuously damaged, resulting in the constant change of the link risk. In the face of constantly changing link risks, improper service recovery planning may cause service failures. From a service perspective, repeated faults will interrupt data transmission many times, and the subsequent link status damage may be aggravated after a disaster occurs. From the perspective of network management and control, repeated recovery wastes route calculation resources and occupies the recovery resources of other services. At the same time, different services have different requirements for transmission reliability because of the importance of the data to be transmitted. When a fault occurs, the high-importance services should be recovered first. Therefore, in the scenario of a large-scale persistent disaster, it is a problem worth studying to comprehensively consider the sustained impact of the disaster on link risk and the difference in path reliability requirements of different services for service recovery. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a link risk-aware service recovery algorithm-Dynamic Link Risk Reroute Algorithm (DLRRA) under persistent disasters.【Methods】Firstly, according to the service importance and link risk, we establish the service importance evaluation model and link risk evaluation model. Then we propose the optimization target route reliability. The DLRRA, combined with the optimization objective, fully considers the change of link risk degree caused by the impact of disasters on the continuity of links. By preferentially allocating low-risk recovery resources to the fault services of high importance, the risk of secondary failure of the same high-importance services is avoided during the continuous occurrence of disasters.【Results】The simulation results show that the second failure probability of DLRRA recovery is reduced by 11% compared with the traditional algorithm, and the average importance of DLRRA recovery under the high load is increased by 10%.【Conclusion】Therefore, the algorithm effectively avoids the loss caused by multiple service interruptions caused, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of important services in the disaster environment.

Deep Learning based Channel Estimation in PLC Communication
Tiancheng JING, Hongguang DUAN, Xu ZHAO, and Jiaxin ZHANG

【Objective】Power Line Carrier(PLC)communication adopts the frame burst transmission mode. Due to the carrier frequency offset between transceivers, various noise and time-varying characteristics of PLC channel and the system has no dedicated reference signal. The traditional channel estimation has no tracking and prediction ability for the channel, which leads to the deterioration of the PLC system performance.【Methods】Aiming at the existing problems, this paper proposes a Denoising Long Short Term Memory (DnLSTM) neural network based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network and Denoising Convolutional Neural Network (DnCNN), which is used for PLC channel estimation. First, offline training is performed on DnLSTM and the parameters are saved after training. Then the trained parameters are deployed in PLC system. After loading parameters, online prediction is performed to obtain the predicted PLC system channel estimation. In the simulation of PLC system, this paper uses Least Squares (LS) algorithm, Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) algorithm and DnLSTM to estimate the channel response, and gives the simulation results under the conditions of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), combined noise, impulsive noise and colored noise. Meanwhile, simulations for different number of preamble symbols for channel estimation are performed.【Results】The results show that there is a relationship between the accuracy of DnLSTM channel estimation and the number of preamble symbols. Using four preamble symbols for channel estimation, its estimation accuracy is better than LS and close to MMSE algorithm. DnLSTM has a good ability to resist carrier frequency offset and channel time-varying. When the number of preamble symbols for channel estimation increases, PLC system performance with low Singnal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gets better and PLC system performance is similar with high SNR.【Conclusion】According to simulation results above, it can be concluded that DnLSTM, which is based on DnCNN and LSTM, can predict PLC system channel response with frequency offset very well and it can track the varying PLC system channel response in real time.

Analysis of Physical Layer Security Performance of RIS-assisted Mixed RF/FSO System
Hui ZHAO, Hui WAN, Jing LI, and Weiwen MA

【Objective】In order to improve the confidentiality and performance of the mixed Radio Frequency (RF)/Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems, it is necessary to study the security performance of the Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-assisted mixed RF/FSO system to obtain the relationship between system security performance and parameters such as RIS deployment location and the degree of correlation between different antennas branches.【Methods】In the article, a single eavesdropper is considered to eavesdrop against RF links and FSO links respectively, with RF links obeying an arbitrarily correlated Nakagami-m distribution and FSO links obeying a Gamma-Gamma distribution. Closed expressions for the Security Outage Probability (SOP) and Strictly Positive Security Capacity (SPSC) probability of the communication system for the two eavesdropping scenarios are derived using the decode-and-forward protocol, and the SOP is analyzed asymptotically. Simulation experiments are also conducted using the Matlab software to verify the accuracy of the derived formulas through Monte Carlo simulation.【Results】Simulation results show that deploying the RIS close to the receiver reduces the security outage probability of the system. It is also shown that an increase in the degree of antenna correlation increases the SOP of the system when the channel quality of the RF main channel is better compared to the eavesdropping channel.【Conclusion】The RIS-assisted FSO link has better security compared to the RF link. Although the multi-antenna diversity technique can effectively improve the security performance of the system, antenna correlation, similar to the fading caused by pointing error and atmospheric turbulence, can also damage the security performance of the system. It is also shown that the security of the system can be effectively improved by reducing the degree of antenna correlation.

Current photogenerated microwave experiments are mostly conducted in C-band wavelengths because of the mature commercial devices. Meanwhile, the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)-Radio Over Fiber (ROF) technology integrates the WDM technology with the ROF technology so as to flexibly realize the combining/splitting of microwave bands with the help of the combining/splitting of WDM system in the optical frequency domain. The ROF part of the system employs photogenerated microwave technology to simplify the base station configuration. Constrained by the limited bandwidth resources in the C-band wavelengths(35 nm, 1 530~1 565 nm), there is a drive for the generation of microwave to expand to wider spectral ranges. The U-band wavelengths can also provide channel bandwidths as wide as 50 nm (1 625~1 675 nm) to alleviate the channel utilization pressure in the C-band wavelengths; In the U-band wavelengths, Standard Single Mode Fibers(SSMFs) have achieved optical power loss as low as 0.195 dB/km (@1 625 nm); In particular, thulium-doped fiber amplifiers have also demonstrated a large bandwidth gain of 18.7 dB (@1 655 nm). These advantages attract SSMFs-based WDM systems to expand into the U-band, which leads to the extension of WDM-ROF technology into long wavelengths, and in turn leads to the expansion of photogenerated microwave technology. Therefore, this paper studies the photogenerated microwave technology in the U-band.【Methods】From the mathematical model, the commonly used photogenerated microwave carriers technologies are transparent to the applied optical carrier bands, and can be used to generate microwave carriers at arbitrary bands by selecting photonics devices corresponding to the operating bands. In principle, C-band wavelengths photonics devices (such as polarization controllers, Phase Modulator (PM), Fiber Phase Shifter (FPS), etc.) can work in the U-band, and the process technology of these devices is mature. Therefore, in this paper, photonics devices such as C-band wavelengths PM, FPS and optocouplers are used to build a photogenerated microwave carrier system based on U-band optical carriers.【Results】Finally, tunable microwave carrier with a tuning range of 7.5~12.0 GHz and a spurious rejection ratio of 29.6~35.2 dB is ultimately generated based on this system.【Conclusion】Through formula principle analysis and experimental verification, this paper extends the working band wavelengths of the photogenerated microwave carrier to the U-band wavelengths.

Songge XIA, Jianxin DU, Hang YI, and Yu ZHANG

【Objective】In this paper, the objective of the research is to improve the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical fiber communication system. a Quadrature Grouped Subcarrier Amplitude Shaping (QGSAS) dual-Phase Conjugate Twin Waves (dual-PCTW) scheme is proposed, which can suppress the nonlinear effect of the systems. In addition, the simulation systems under different conditions are built to explore the performance of the scheme. The specific experimental methods are as follows.【Methods】With the mixed programming of Optisystem and Matlab, a QGSAS dual-PCTW OFDM system is simulated based on 16-ary and 64-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) formats. Two kinds of QGSAS (sinusoidal amplitude shaping, rectangular amplitude shaping) and three dimensions dual-PCTW (time domain, polarization domain, sub-carrier domain) are adopted for the system to form 12 different combinations.【Results】The simulation results show that the QGSAS dual-PCTW scheme can effectively suppress the nonlinear effects in the system. In several combination schemes discussed, the 16QAM dual-PCTW scheme in time domain has the best performance. When the QGSAS technology is used, the scheme of rectangular amplitude shaping is better than the sinusoidal amplitude shaping.【Conclusion】Therefore, it can be concluded that in the scheme studied in this paper, the rectangular amplitude shaping scheme combined with the time domain scheme dual-PCTW technology under 16QAM can effectively suppress the nonlinear effect of OFDM-WDM system.

Research Progress of Communication Laser and Its Modulation Technology
Xiaomei GAO, Yuting SHU, Jingyuan LIANG, Huiqin WANG, Li ZHAO, Peng SONG, and Xizheng KE

In the field of optical communication, laser and its modulation bandwidth and modulation rate are very important for optical wireless communication. There are two main modulation modes for semiconductor laser signal: internal modulation and external modulation. These two modulation technologies have their own characteristics and are suitable for different fields of optical fiber communication. Internal modulation laser, also known as direct modulation laser, has become a cost-effective light source for the Fifth Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) fronthaul and data center because of its high-speed transmission and low cost. There is no additional Chirp of light source in external modulation laser, so the Composite Second Beat (CSB) distortion caused by fiber dispersion can be effectively overcomed. On the basis of reviewing the development history of communication laser and its modulation technology, this paper introduces the work and main progress made by Xi’an University of Technology in this field. This paper discusses the internal and external factors of nonlinear distortion of semiconductor laser, simulates the effects of various parameters of response characteristics, linearization compensation method and power control system on the output light source of light emitting device, and analyzes the influence of temperature fluctuation on the output power of laser and modulation device. Based on the basic theory of refractive index ellipsoid and numerical analysis, the variation trend of emitted light intensity with temperature is discussed under the longitudinal and transverse modulation, respectively. The results show that the variation trend of outgoing light intensity with temperature under longitudinal modulation is only related to the refractive index of Lithium Niobate (LN) crystal. Under transverse modulation, the variation trend of outgoing light intensity with temperature is affected not only by the refractive index of the crystal, but also by the crystal size and its expansion coefficient. Therefore, the special size crystal can be used to improve the temperature stability of the electro-optic modulator.

Research on Deterministic Network Transmission Technology in Industrial PON
Jiawei ZHANG, CHEN SU, and Yuefeng JI

Passive Optical Network (PON) is considered a crucial networking technology for the next-generation industrial Internet due to its advantages of high bandwidth, cost-effectiveness and resistance to electromagnetic interference. However, the technical development of conventional PON is based on the principle of "bandwidth enhancement",making its transmission scheduling mechanism difficult to meet the transmission requirements of "time-sensitive" industrial services. This poses a significant challenge to the network transmission capability of conventional PON, necessitating the incorporation of determinism as a new characteristic. This paper mainly focuses on the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)-PON. Firstly, it illustrates the service characteristics and transmission requirements of industrial Internet, and analyzes the two major technical challenges faced by conventional TDM-PON in industrial Internet scenarios: one being uncertain delays caused by the traditional bandwidth allocation scheme; and the other being uncertain delays caused by the inflexible scheduling mechanism. Addressing these challenges, this paper summarizes the key technologies to enhance the deterministic transmission capability of TDM-PON, such as collaborative transmission interfaces, multi-bursts per frame, and Deterministic Bandwidth Allocation (DetBA). Furthermore, this paper proposes a network calculus-based delay boundary modeling method as a theoretical model for designing and evaluating the performance of deterministic industrial PON systems. Finally, potential technologies and directions for deterministic industrial PON are discussed, including the service layer, the Media Access Control (MAC) layer, the physical layer, and the control and management plane.

Research on Key Technologies of Coherent PON System Above 100 Gbit/s
Ming LI, and Rong HU

The standards for 50 Gbit/s Passive Optical Network (PON) are nearly complete, but the standards for the post-50 Gbit/s PON era are still blank. It is necessary to carry out relevant research to guide the industry’s strategic planning in system, optical module and chips. Experts predict that single-wavelength 200 Gbit/s rate and coherent technology will be the two key features of the next-generation PON system after 50 Gbit/s PON. Firstly, the single-wavelength 200 Gbit/s rate is particularly attractive to operators. However, Intensity Modulation and Direct Detection (IM/DD) technology struggles to meet the Class C+ power budget requirements at this speed. Therefore, it is necessary to use a coherent technology which is more sensitive than IM/DD technology. However, some technical challenges need to be overcome if coherent technology is applied to PON. As the PON system shows a typical Point-to-MultiPoint (P2MP) topology, key challenges include the architecture reconstruction of PON Media Access Control (MAC) chips and system equipment, the Bi-Di technology and the burst-mode technology of coherent PON optical modules, and the wavelength management in PON system. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) remains the best way to achieve P2MP transmission. New multiplexing dimensions, such as Sub-Carrier Multiplexing (SCM) can enhance this method. The introduction of new multiplexing dimension adds flexibility but also complicates the design, potentially overhauling the entire PON system architecture. With SCM, digital interfaces are no longer used to connect optical modules. Instead, optical modules will need to use highly linear driver and modulator. The user-side optical modules need the ability to switch instantly to avoid interference with other users, necessitating the development of new coherent optical chips with burst-mode control functionality. Considering the uplink P2MP burst-mode coherent reception, it is necessary to control the wavelength of multiple lasers at the system level to avoid errors from frequency offset estimation, caused by rapid wavelength switching among users. In summary, applying coherent technology to PON is a completely new and complex task, which cannot directly inherit the existing coherent system architecture. It needs to match the requirement of P2MP system application, through technological innovation in chips, modules, and equipment.

Advances in Beyond 100 Gbit/s Fiber-Wireless Integrated Transmission Technology
Shuang GAO, Jiao ZHANG, and Min ZHU

The deep integration of optical fiber communications and high-capacity, high-frequency wireless communications is a core technology for the future 6th Generation Mobile Communication (6G). It is crucial for establishing typical 6G scenarios such as immersive communications, ubiquitous connectivity, and integrated communications Artificial Intelligence (AI). This paper reviews mainstream technologies and solutions for optimizing the architecture and improving the spectral efficiency of fiber-wireless integrated transmission systems. It also summarizes the progress made by our team in these areas. Firstly, to meet the high-capacity needs of next-generation of immersive communications, a novel architecture for seamless "fiber-wireless-fiber" integrated transmission system is proposed using commercial Digital Coherent Optics (DCO). It marks a pioneering achievement in real-time wireless transmission at 100/200/400 GbE with photonics, achieving a maximum line rate of 2×240.558 Gbit/s. Secondly, for application scenarios requiring broad coverage and flexible deployment, the Digital Sub Carrier Multiplexing (DSCM) technology is incorporated into the optical fiber-wireless convergence access system. It results in a coherent Passive Optical Network (PON) supporting up to 32 channels of fixed broadband and 32 channels of W-band millimeter-wave wireless access. This coherent PON could reach a rate of 100 Gbit/s and is adaptable for flexible rate adjustments and future upgrades. Finally, addressing the demand for communication AI integration, a likelihood-aware Vector-Quantization (VQ) Variational Auto Encoder (VAE) is proposed based on AI technology for end-to-end optimization of fiber-wireless integrated communication systems. Without the need for terahertz power amplifiers, we successfully demonstrate the wireless transmission of Dual-Polarization (DP) terahertz signal at a net rate of 366.4 Gbit/s over 6.5 m 2×2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless link and 20 km Standard Single Mode Fiber (SSMF) link. These technologies exhibit tremendous potential for future 6G applications. Moreover, we briefly explored the possibilities for beyond 100 Gbit/s fiber-wireless integrated transmission technology, focusing on high capacity, long distance, integration and intelligentization.

Research Progress in New Multi-carrier Optical Communication Systems
Jian GE, Yongtao HUANG, and Jianguo Yü

To meet the growing demand for communication capacity, new multi-carrier fiber optical communication technology has become the focus of scientific researchers' attention. The paper reviews the development of traditional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in the field of fiber optical communication over the past 20 years and summarizes relevant research on Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC) and Universal Filter Multi Carrier (UFMC) in recent years. Since 2016, scholars worldwide have been addressing the drawbacks of OFDM in optical communication, such as high out-of-band leakage, reliance on Cyclic Prefixes (CP), high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) values, and stringent system synchronization requirements. They have initiated research using new multi-carrier systems as a breakthrough point. FBMC optical communication is characterized by minimal sidelobe power and high spectral efficiency, but due to the use of Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM), the corresponding Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithm needs to be redesigned for virtual part interference. UFMC optical communication has a strong tolerance for time synchronization deviation, and it is less sensitive to frequency offsets. Moreover, it can reuse the DSP algorithms of OFDM. However, challenges remain in further suppressing out-of-band power and reducing computational complexity. Finally, based on the current research status, the paper proposes research directions and suggestions for advancing the next-generation fiber optical communication system.

Lei ZHANG, Jianhe GAO, Sha HUANG, Yu’an ZHANG, Yong LUO, and Hongchun XU

【Objective】In order to meet the growing demand for ultra-gigabit, from gigabit to 10-gigabit, from The 5th Generation Fixed networks (F5G) to F5G-Advanced (F5.5G), 50 Gbit/s Passive Optical Network (PON) is considered to be an important part of F5.5G. This paper conducts a thorough study of 50 Gbit/s PON technology, reflecting the latest advancements in access networks.【Methods】This paper initially addresses the difficulties in achieving high sensitivity in 50 Gbit/s PON, and proposes a solution. 50 Gbit/s Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) signals pass through Avalanche Photodiode (APD) detectors to form macroscopic currents that can be detected under strong electric fields. These currents are then amplified by a Transresistance Amplifier (TIA) and converted into voltage outputs. After balancing, the Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) of optical Digital Signal Processing (oDSP) chip are used to compensate the trailing phenomenon of pulse signal, and the influence of intersymbol interference is minimized by DFE. Then the paper analyses the key technologies such as APD, TIA and oDSP, comparing the reception performance between 25 Gbit/s and 50 Gbit/s APDs.【Results】Experimental test results show that the 25 Gbit/s APD maintains error-free signal reception at -8.48 dBm over 4 minutes, and reaches -26.61 dBm at a Bit Error Rate(BER) of 2.78e-2. The 50 Gbit/s APD exhibits no bit errors at -8.97 dBm and achieves -27.05 dBm at the same BER, with the second 50 Gbit/s APD set demonstrating similar results.【Conclusion】The 50 Gbit/s APD has superior receiving sensitivity and performance, making it highly suitable for 50 Gbit/s PON optical modules to help achieve high receiver sensitivity. The paper suggests a feasible approach for cost reduction in future implementations, focusing on the balance technology and APD.

Yunchang CHEN, Liang MEI, Mingwen HE, and Jitao GAO

【Objective】In recent years, data communication traffic has experienced explosive growth. To meet the demands for high-speed, high-capacity data transmission and the diverse network application scenarios, hybrid network beyond 100 Gbit/s (B100 Gbit/s) using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has increasingly been recognized as an effective solution. This paper analyzes the requirements, key technologies, and practical case studies of such networks, providing technical support and guidance for building high-capacity and efficient communication networks.【Methods】This paper first outlines the requirements for developing B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networks, including network capacity expansion and support for complex network architectures. Next, it details the key technologies for these networks, including constellation shaping, spectrum shaping, and flexible grid technologies. To support bitrate design in hybrid networking, a method for calculating Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) in cascaded Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) communication systems is presented, using parameters such as channel configuration information, transmitted signal optical power, and EDFA gain and noise parameters, to calculate the output OSNR for each wavelength across the link. Finally, by integrating a foreign network case study and based on actual OSNR evaluation, a rational hybrid rate network design is performed, demonstrating the application effectiveness of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networking in engineering projects.【Results】Implementing B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid network, after flexibly configuring transmission rates and bandwidths based on OSNR evaluations, achieves hybrid rate networks deployment at 200, 600 and 800 Gbit/s. This approach fulfills the high-capacity requirements of core sites while accommodating the long-distance, extensive span requirements of edge sites. Furthermore, network upgrades and expansion are smoothly accomplished within a three-year period.【Conclusion】Practice demonstrates that B100 Gbit/s DWDM networking effectively enhances network capacity, flexibility, and spectrum resource utilization. It also provides room for the continuous network evolution, playing a crucial role in advancing the development of high-capacity optical transmission networks.

Ting HE, Xiang LI, Jie LI, and Ming LUO

【Objective】Optical fiber dispersion, nonlinear impairments, and bandwidth limitation in high-speed passive optical access networks result in significant power budget loss with traditional intensity modulation and direct detection schemes, failing to meet the requirements of high-speed passive optical access networks.【Methods】In order to enhance the rate and performance of the intensity modulation and direct detection optical access system, this study explores the channel equalization method of VDFE-RLS based on Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm, building upon the Volterra Decision Feedback Equalizer (VDFE), This equalizer uses RLS algorithm to update its tap coefficients. It includes a three-order Volterra series, allowing it to compensate for both linear and nonlinear impairments. VDFE-RLS is applied to the downlink optical access system with a single wavelength of 200 Gbit/s based on O-band intensity modulation and direct detection scheme after 20 km transmission.【Results】The experimental results show that the RLS outperforms the conventional Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm in the equalization process. Moreover, VDFE-RLS achieves a power budget greater than 29 dB. When the length of the equalizer is the same, VDFE-RLS can increase the power budget by 2.2 dB compared with the conventional Volterra Feed Forward Equalization (VFFE)-RLS equalizer. When the length of VDFE-RLS equalizer is half that of VFFE-RLS, the VDFE-RLS can increase the power budget by 0.5 dB compared with the VFFE-RLS equalizer.【Conclusion】Compared with other traditional methods, the proposed method can shorten the length of the equalizer and increase the power budget of the system, ultimately restoring signals with better performance.

Low Complexity Soft Information Demodulation Technology for High-Speed Optical Communication
Jian HUANG, Qixiong ZHU, and Dengchao CHEN

【Objective】The commonly used max-log-map algorithm reduces the complexity of soft information computation compared to the log-map algorithm. However, it still consumes significant resources for high-order Orthogonal Amplitude Modulation (QAM), such as 8QAM, 16QAM Probability Shaping (PS), and 64QAM PS.【Methods】8QAM adopts the method of constellation region division, and the soft information is represented by the distance information from the received symbol to the perpendicular between the nearest bit 0 and bit 1. The distance information is simplified and calculated using angle rotation and regional symmetry. For 16QAM PS and 64QAM PS with non Maxwell Boltzmann (MB) distribution, the central boundary between the edges of the bit 1 region and the central boundary between bit 0 on both sides of the bit 1 region no longer coincide. Region merging approximation is used to handle the region ownership between the two boundaries, and the max-log-map expression is factorized to simplify the distance difference to calculate the soft information. The soft information of 16QAM PS and 64QAM PS based on MB distribution can be obtained by simplifying the soft information expression of non-MB distribution.【Results】The simplification reduced the multiplication and addition/subtraction operations in 8QAM soft information calculation from 48 and 75 times to 12 and 16 times respectively. with a degradation of only about 0.05 dB. For MB-distributed 16QAM PS, operations reduce from 192 multiplications and 260 additions/subtractions to 2 and 4, respectively, also with a degradation of only about 0.05 dB. The reduction is even greater for 64QAM PS, decreasing from 1 152 multiplications and 1 542 additions/subtractions to 3 and 6, respectively.【Conclusion】This article proposes a soft information computation method suitable for 8QAM and MB-distributed 16QAM PS, MB-distributed 64QAM PS, non MB-distributed16QAM PS, and non MB-distributed 64QAM PS. When probabilities align with the MB distribution, the non MB methods can transform into the MB methods. When the shaping factor is 0, the expression based on the MB distribution can be converted into a uniformly distributed soft information calculation formula. The soft information calculation for non-MB distribution, MB distribution, and uniform distribution can be uniformly designed on the same circuit, improving circuit reuse rate and reducing the hardware resource consumption.

Qifang LIU, Yu ZHANG, and Quan ZHOU

【Objective】With the advent of new internet services and the broader application of Passive Optical Network (PON) in the industry, PON, as the core technology of the 5th Generation Fixed Networks (F5G), needs to evolve and upgrade continuously to meet the needs of the future network. The latency of PON networks is a key network performance indicator that urgently needs improvement. This article conducts in-depth research on the low latency technologies in the PON networks.【Methods】This article first summarizes the challenges faced by current PON networks in terms of low latency. It identifies two main reasons for high latency: the inherent uplink delay introduced by the Optical Network Unit (ONU) bandwidth allocation mechanism and the random uplink delay introduced by the ONU registration/ranging mechanism. To address these issues, this article proposes two ultra-low latency solutions based on single frame multi burst technology and an independent registration channel, followed by experimental verification and analysis.【Results】Analysis shows that the single-frame multi-burst approach optimally balances latency and bandwidth utilization in a quarter scheduling cycle, albeit at the expense of some bandwidth. This method is ideal for latency-sensitive, bandwidth-tolerant services. The independent registration channel solution, by dedicating an extra wavelength for ONU registration/ranging, eliminates the extra delay and jitter from silent periods in standard service channels.【Conclusion】The ultra-low latency solution for PON discussed in this article can effectively reduce network latency, and help promote the large-scale commercialization of emerging applications such as Virtual Reality (VR) and accelerate the growth of industrial internet.

【Objective】The rapid development of data center networks necessitates intensive research into high-speed and high-capacity data center optical transmission systems. Single carrier 400 or 600 Gbit/s transmission will gradually become the mainstream transmission rate in the next generation of communication network. While the application of 400 Gbit/s transmission is well-studied in data center networks, detailed research on 600 Gbit/s transmission systems is less common.【Methods】This study is based on a single carrier 600 Gbit/s next-generation data center Elastic Optical Network (EON) transmission system, and conducts detailed theoretical analysis and experimental research on factors affecting transmission distance and spectrum utilization efficiency.【Results】The analysis shows that the maximum transmission distance is determined by the single carrier's peak input optical power, while the spectrum utilization efficiency is related to the bandwidth of the transmission channel. Experimental investigation is conducted on a single carrier 600 Gbit/s EON transmission system. By comparing the relationships between different fiber input optical powers, the system’s Q factor and the pre correction bit error rate, as well as the relationships between 3 dB channel filtering bandwidth and system’s Q factor for different channel numbers, it is confirmed that the system’s transmission distance and spectrum utilization efficiency are related to the optimal fiber input optical power and filtering bandwidth, respectively. Furthermore, the experiment shows that the optimal single-wave input optical power and optimal filtering bandwidth of the 600 Gbit/s transmission system are + 4 dBm and 77 GHz, respectively. Under these settings, the system achieves the longest transmission distance and the highest spectral efficiency. Under these experimental conditions, the 600 Gbit/s transmission system achieves long-term stable operation without error for 48 hours, indicating that this fiber input power and bandwidth can effectively extend and improve the transmission distance and spectrum utilization of the 600 Gbit/s communication system.【Conclusion】The 600 Gbit/s EON system has an optimal input power and filter bandwidth that maximizes bandwidth utilization and transmission distance without significant fiber nonlinear effects or channel interference. The findings have significant values for the engineering construction of 600 Gbit/s transmission systems.

Yu-ze LI, and Xin-an LI

In the vehicle to infrastructure communication, the millimeter wave beam width is narrow and user equipment mobility is high. Therefore, effective millimeter wave beam selection is a key and challenging task. Aiming at the problem of high overhead in the beam search process, this paper proposes a millimeter-wave beam selection algorithm based on radar and location information. The proposed algorithm trains a neural network structure on the lidar and beam tracking channel datasets using the Top-k classification metric. It also predicts the best beam pair using the Global Context Net (GCNet) model. The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is significantly improved in the classification and recognition accuracy. At the same time, it only needs to search 5 beams to approach the performance of the exhaustive search, which greatly reduces the beam search overhead.

Shaoheng LIN

【Objective】For the implementation of Trans Impedance Amplifier (TIA) in 400 Gbit/s Dual Polarization (DP)– 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) coherent receiver.【Methods】A 64 GBaud dual channels differential linear TIA in advanced Silicon Germanium Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (SiGe BiCMOS HBT) process is proposed. The chip consists of two identical signal amplifying paths for the I and Q signals of Coherent Receiver. The path utilities full differential shunt-shunt feedback structure as TIA stage, and consequent two Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) stages in series to amplify further, and Current Mode Logic (CML) buffer with single-end 50 Ω output impedance as the output stage. The chip integrates two independent Direct Current Restore (DCR) loops to remove the input direct current component and direct current offset at the core output node, and integrates Direct Current Offset Cancellation (DCOC) loop to remove the output direct current offsets due to the differential pairs mismatch along the VGA and buffer stages. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) loop is built in to adjust automatically the trans-impedance gain of TIA stage and gain of VGA stages based on input amplitude detecting, which is aimed to avoid saturation distortion. To optimize output impedance matching and reduce the impact of parasitic capacitance of Electrical Static Discharge (ESD) diodes, a three ports bridge-T network inductive peaking technique is inserted in the output node to optimize the output return loss and improve the bandwidth. The chip is designed and manufactured in advanced SiGe BiCMOS HBT process. The die size is 1.6 mm×1.8 mm, and the channel pitch is 625 μm.

Qian DAI, Yanping LIU, Ximin YANG, and Wan TANG

【Objective】Aiming at the problem that BitString can not represent all Bit-Forwarding Routers (BFRs) in large-scale Software Defined Networking (SDN) multicast based on Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) due to the limited length, this study designs a Hierarchical Domain (HD)-BIER model and devises its construction algorithm.【Methods】The HD-BIER model is a multi-layer BIER network composed of multiple small-scale Sub Domains (SD), which enables BIER to support a number of devices exceeding the capacity of the BitString representation in large-scale networks. The proposed HD-BIER construction algorithm takes into account the BitString Length (BSL) limitation, link lengths between nodes, and network connectivity. It leverages the concept of community partition algorithms and introduces a modularity function based on node similarity as an evaluation metric for BIER SD partitioning. The construction follows a bottom-up approach to dynamically build the HD-BIER network.【Results】The simulation results show that the HD-BIER construction algorithm can effectively construct HD-BIER networks that exceed the BSL limit in either simple networks or the complex networks with a large number of nodes. Additionally, the resulting HD-BIER model not only ensures normal transmission of multicast service data flows through the gradual encapsulation and decapsulation of BitString layers but also maintains SDN multicast communication performance throughout this process.【Conclusion】The simulation results validate that the proposed HD-BIER model presents an effective multicast service support solution for even larger-scale networks.

Recent Progress and Comment on Metasurface Devices based on Two-photon 3D Printing
Mian WU, Lin WU, and Jin TAO

Metasurface is a thin layer that composed of periodic subwavelength artificial structures. By vibrating together with the incident electromagnetic waves, it introduces the phase jump, which breaks the traditional dependence on spatial optical path accumulation and exhibits unique electromagnetic characteristics. Metasurface has attracted great interest during the past ten years due to its ultra-thin thickness, ultrashort modulation distance and manipulation of light with ultrahigh resolution, superior to traditional optical elements. As the two-dimensional counterpart of metamaterials, it is easier to manufacture and integrate into the devices with operating wavelength ranging from microwaves to visible. The manufacturing processes commonly used for metasurfaces include ultraviolet lithography, electron beam lithography, focused ion beam lithography and nanoimprinting. However, the mass application still faces contradictions between processing accuracy and mass manufacturing and processing costs. Two-photon 3-Dimensional (3D) printing technology which is based on femtosecond pulse laser and two-photon polymerization reaction can fabricate metasurface with high precision and complex 3D structure by only one-step lithography without mask. It has the merits of processing convenience and flexibility, and has the potential of large-scale manufacturing. Therefore, it is widely used in the study and fabrication of metasurface. The paper reviews recent researches on metasurface optical devices fabricated by two-photon 3D printing technologies. An introduction to the concept, advantages and processing methods of metasurface is presented firstly, followed by the principle, development, and technological advantages of two-photon 3D printing. Recent study on metasurface devices ranging from plasmonic metasurfaces, metalens, metasurfaces for nano-display and holography, and metasurfaces integrated into fiber facet are reviewed respectively. Finally, the discussion and comments on metasurface devices based on two-photon 3D printing are given.

Technological Progress of Information Optoelectronics Microelectronization and Discussion on Its Development
Xinquan ZHANG, Xi XIAO, and Shaohua YU

Microelectronics technology has enabled electronic devices from discrete to integrated, bringing exponential improvements in cost, reliability, power consumption, volume and other aspects for decades, which is the key to the wide application of electronic information technology. Currently, electronic information technology is facing bottlenecks such as bandwidth and energy consumption, and Moore’s Law is struggling. As another major carrier of information, photons have characteristics such as high bandwidth, high speed, low power consumption, and high parallelism. The continued progress of information technology must rely more on photons. However, the cost, reliability, and scale productivity of photonic devices lag behind the electronic devices. Therefore, based on the historical experience of the development of electronic devices, we propose the " microelectronization" of optoelectronics, emphasizing that optoelectronics take " integration" as the development track and " photoelectric fusion" as the development direction.Taking integration as the development track is to emphasize that optoelectronics should learn from microelectronics in order to meet the requirements of modern information systems for devices. The integrated development of optoelectronics has three main characteristics: the chip platform basing on silicon; the steady increase in integration scale; and the evolution of production mode towards fabless.Taking photoelectric integration as the development direction, it emphasizes the necessity of the combination of optoelectronics and microelectronics, and jointly solve the challenges of bandwidth, rate, power consumption and other challenges currently faced by information technology through device integration and function integration of the two, so as to meet the requirements of digital twins, metaverse and other applications. Photoelectronic fusion mainly has two levels: chip and system, involving monolithic optoelectronic integration, Co Packaged Optics (CPO), hybrid optoelectronic integration, device disaggregation, photoelectric hybrid computing, etc.The " microelectronization" of optoelectronics is not only a technological development guide, but also will have a significant impact on the information optoelectronics industry. The article have conducted open-minded thinking from the perspectives of market, competition, enterprises, products, etc., and pointed out that it may lead to industry reshaping.The " microelectronization" of the development of information optoelectronics is an objective requirement for the continued advancement of information technology. On the one hand, photons are being generalized from transmission technology to ubiquitous connection technology in the entire Information Communications Technology (ICT) domain, from the ground to the ocean and space at the macroscale, and from the shelf and board to the package, and chip at the microscale. On the other hand, photons will be generalized from bandwidth providing technology to a basic hardware technology for the entire ICT domain, from transmission and connection to complex functional domains such as computation, processing, and routing. The " microelectronization" of optoelectronics will enable photons not only have the potential but also the ability to fully utilize their advantages to support the continued progress of the information technology.

After fiber drawing and testing, the optical parameters can meet the low water peak optical fiber standard. There is no exhaust gas emission in the process raw material of quartz sand can be completely converted, which is more low-carbon and environmentally friendly than traditional optical fiber preform manufacturing process.

Oxygen sensing head was made by dip coating plastic optical fiber into the above prepared sol-gel. Its oxygen sensing performance was studied under different precursor ratios. Experimental results show that all the fabricated DO sensing heads have good oxygen sensing performance, and the detection limits are 0.135 and 0.118 mg/L, respectively. Compared with the fiber optic oxygen sensing head coated with a single precursor (TEOS, BTESE and TFP-TriMOS), the fiber optic oxygen sensing head based on fluorinated dry gel shows higher linearity and lower detection lower limit. The stability of the fluorinated DO sensing head and the influence of pH the intensity of fluorescence signal was studied. The results show that the two kinds of fiber optic dissolved oxygen sensing head have good stability and anti-interference ability.

At present, the performance demand of power communication service for bearer network is constantly increasing. Software Defined Optical Network (SDON) technology drives the integration of power communication and SDON technology with its advantages of openness and softwareization. The index system and evaluation method established based on traditional optical transmission network cannot reflect the characteristics of SDON architecture and its influence on bearer performance of power communication network service. In this paper, a new index system is constructed based on the performance requirements, influencing factors and the influence of different SDON architectures on the service performance of power communication business. The decision matrix was determined according to the contribution degree of the index to each attribute. The Ordered Weighted Average-Extended-Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (OWA-E-TOPSIS) multi-attribute decision making method was proposed to realize the index screening. The weight distribution of the selected indicators is carried out by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the examples are collected. After the pretreatment by utility function method, the index value aggregation is carried out. By comparing the evaluation results of each instance, the feasibility of the index system and evaluation method are verified, which provided a basis for the application of new technology and new business support of electric power communication network.

Performance Analysis of MIMO-FSO System based on Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
Pu LI, Xuan TANG, Jing XU, and Yang CHEN

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems are easily affected by atmospheric turbulence effects. In order to reduce the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the system under saturated turbulence condition, and considering the requirement of maximum diversity gain under limited Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) in practical engineering, it is necessary to study the diversity performance of the system to obtain the relationship between diversity gain and parameters such as SNR and system link number. This article uses Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology to design a MIMO-FSO system based on Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The performance of the system in a negative exponential distribution channel model is analyzed, and the BER calculation formula and closed form expressions of diversity gain related parameters (such as Diversity Order (DO), Incremental Diversity Order (IDO), and speed of convergence (SOC)) are derived. Simulation experiments are conducted using mathematical software such as Matlab to verify the accuracy of the derived formula through Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results show that MIMO the technology can significantly reduce the BER of FSO systems without increasing the transmission power and receiving aperture area. Moreover, in saturated turbulent channels, when the number of system links increases or the turbulence intensity decreases, the diversity order increases to the theoretical maximum with the SNR at a faster rate. The MIMO technology effectively suppresses the negative impact of atmospheric turbulence on the system and significantly improves system performance. When conditions are satisfied, using more transmitters and receivers can achieve higher diversity gain in the system under limited SNR. However, it is also necessary to consider the deployment cost and installation difficulty in actual engineering to choose the appropriate number of links.

Joint PAPR Reduction Technology Enabled by Neural Network-based Coding and Companding
Jun-yuan Nie, Da-wei Zhang, and Jing Zhang

Multi-carrier modulation technology is an advanced modulation method commonly used in broadband communication systems. However, multi-carrier signals will produce a very large Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in the time domain, which will lead to non-linear damage and seriously affects the performance of system. In this paper, a joint PAPR reduction technology enabled by neural network-based coding and companding is proposed. The frequency-domain coding is implemented by a fully connected layer, which greatly reduces the complexity and difficulty of network training. A small proportion of spread spectrum is introduced to provide coding gain, and the time-domain companding network uses a nonlinear convolutional neural network to reduce PAPR. The effect of the scheme is shown through simulation under various parameter conditions, and compared with various schemes. The simulation results show that the scheme can reduce PAPR by 5 dB while introducing rare distortion. Finally, the scheme is experimentally verified. The experimental results show that the Bit Error Ratio (BER) is reduced by 75% compared with the clipping scheme when the PAPR is reduced by 5 dB, which verifies the feasibility of the scheme.

Jia-wei ZHU, Bao-liang QI, Xing-jian WANG, Rong-xin TANG, Li-su YU, Zheng-hai WANG, Hui DENG, Zhi-xu WU, Yong XIA, and Yu-hao WANG

Visible Light Communication (VLC) has become an effective underwater communication technology due to its advantages such as fast transmission speed and strong confidentiality. When light propagates underwater, it is prone to scattering, resulting in a decrease in the energy of light propagation with the increase of transmission distance. Therefore, improving the responsiveness of the receiving end is the key technology to achieve underwater VLC. This article first designs a new holographic waveguide focusing system for the front end of the detector, which can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of underwater detectors. Then, we construct a low-cost antimony sulfide thin film detector with weak light detection capability. Based on the built VLC system, the experimental results show that the dark current of the receiver detector is only 10-7 A/cm2, with a 3 dB bandwidth of 220 kHz, a response of 0.2 A/W, and an external quantum efficiency of over 70% in the blue green light band. Therefore, the new antimony sulfide thin film detector combined with a holographic waveguide focusing system can achieve weak light detection of visible light, making it a very effective underwater visible light receiving system.

Research on Underwater Mobile Optical Communication Technology based on Gain Feedback Control
Jie-hui LIU, Lin MA, Sen-rong ZHU, and Zu-yuan HE

In underwater mobile visible light communication systems, the received optical power varies significantly when the transmission distance changes due to the large intrinsic absorption of water. This paper proposes an underwater mobile visible light communication technology based on Gain Feedback Control (GFC), which expands the dynamic range of both communication distance and Field of View (FOV). At a moving speed of 0.13 m/s, we achieved real-time duplex video transmission with adjustable communication distances between 0.9~5.2 m, data rates of 5.0 Mbit/s, video pixels of 800×600, and Frames Per Second (FPS) greater than zero. Compared with the system without GFC, the dynamic range of communication distance and receiving FOV angle has expanded to 5.3 and 2.8 times, respectively. In order to further verify the performance of the system, we measured the average scintillation index, data transmission outage probability, and Bit Error Rate (BER) of the system at different moving speeds. Within the dynamic range of communication distance, as the moving speed increases, the average scintillation index and BER correspondingly increase. However, even when the moving speed reaches 0.83 m/s, which is the maximum speed of the system, communication remains uninterrupted. Our results indicate that the system has good robustness and has good potential underwater mobile communication applications.

This paper proposes to integrate the monocular ranging function into the underwater blue-green laser communication system to realize the underwater optical communication ranging by integrating short-distance visual ranging and long-distance laser ranging. Using Monte Carlo method simulation, an underwater laser signal channel transmission model is established to simulate underwater laser spot images under different target sizes, distances and water qualities. We analyze the influence of these three factors on the accuracy of underwater monocular ranging. Considering the influence of spot diffusion and contrast reduction in simulated images on ranging accuracy, a monocular ranging algorithm is proposed that combines image enhancement and Zernike moments subpixel edge detection for small-sized underwater light source targets to improve the accuracy of the monocular ranging algorithm. Laboratory pool experiments were conducted to verify that the algorithm accuracy can meet the requirements.

Monte Carlo Simulation on Laser Transmission Characteristics in an Underwater Channel
Xiao-tian HAN, Pei-xuan LIAO, Peng LI, Wei WANG, Xiao-ping XIE, Huai-liang LI, Jia-guang WEI, Xiao-wei FENG, and Shan-zhi XU

The transmission characteristics of laser in four types of harbor water were studied using Monte Carlo method simulations for the characteristics of strong absorption and high scattering of water in marine harbors. The effects of water quality parameters and transmission distance on the optical signal power, impulse response and spot quality were quantified and analyzed at certain optical wavelengths, optical energies and divergence angles. The analysis shows that the attenuation characteristics of laser remain consistent as the attenuation length increases when the optical signal is transmitted in the four types of harbor waters. The rate of attenuation of the optical power also does not conform to the linear relationship described by Beer's law. Under the same water quality conditions, the width of the optical pulse, the size of the light spot increases with the attenuation length. However, when the attenuation length is transmitted from 20 to 30, the width of the optical pulse is almost unchanged, and the change in the amount of light pulse spreading is less than 1 ns with the size of the light spot increases continuously. In addition, at the same attenuation length, the light pulse and the spreading amount of light spot with the water quality attenuation coefficient increases and decreases.

Underwater Wireless Optical Communications (UWOC) is an emerging high-speed underwater communication technology that has gradually attracted widespread attention in academia and industry due to its advantages of high transmission bandwidth, electromagnetic interference resistance, low power consumption, and small size. Although light has a larger attenuation in underwater transmission than acoustic wave, its transmission distance can still reach hundreds of meters, which is sufficient to meet the requirements for sensor data transmission. However, UWOC technology is still in an early stage of development, with most experiments being conducted only in laboratory water tanks. Therefore, unified performance testing models and methodologies are required due to different testing methods for UWOC. In order to objectively evaluate the performance of a UWOC system, this article attempts to propose the general testing method, model and evaluation indicators for UWOC systems, to promote the development of UWOC technology.

Based on the Monte Carlo numerical simulation, the effects of self-interference on the performance of 450 nm single-wavelength, 525 nm single-wavelength and dual-wavelength FD-UWOC systems are analyzed under three typical water qualities of Jerlov I, Jerlov IB and Jerlov II. The simulation results show that the poorer the water quality, the stronger the self-interference. It is also shown that the enhancement of self-interference will significantly reduce the Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) of FD-UWOC, which limits the longest transmission distance of the system. The FD-UWOC system using the dual-wavelength transceiver separation method can bring about 60 dB improvement in OSNR compared with the single-wavelength FD-UWOC system, which can achieve a longer transmission distance. An 80 m improvement in Jerlov II water quality, and an effective transmission distance of more than 100 m in Jerlov I and Jerlov IB water quality are achieved. These results provide some reference significance to the design of FD-UWOC system.

Xian-hao LIN, and Nan CHI

Underwater Visible Light Communication (UVLC) has great advantages of high transmission rate, large capacity, low latency, and low cost, which has become a feasible and attractive alternative in the field of underwater communication, with broad application prospects. However, UVLC performance is limited by bottleneck issues such as bandwidth limitations and various linear or nonlinear effects. In order to alleviate these problems, we studied geometrically-shaping based Amplitude Phase Shift Keying (APSK) modulation and coding mapping. A waveform-stage post equalizer based on Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network (BRNN) is also proposed. In addition, a waveform-to-symbol receiver based on Deep Neural Network (DNN) is proposed to replace the traditional matching filtering, down-sampling, post-equalization and other operations. Compared with traditional receiver, the dynamic range of voltage using BRNN based post equalizer is improved by 170 mV(69%) and it is improved by 245 mV(100%) using waveform-to-symbol receiver based on DNN. In the paper, a waveform-stage post equalizer based on BRNN and a waveform-to-symbol receiver based on DNN are experimentally verified to be promising schemes in future UVLC.

The strain sensitivity of bare fiber grating under the action of acoustic wave is too low, which is difficult to detect the effective reflection wavelength change. In this paper, the longitudinal sensing of fiber grating is used as a model, and a layer of thickness far exceeding the inner diameter of the fiber is coated around the grating. Low Young's modulus cylindrical coating is used to increase the strain sensitivity of the fiber grating. We also use the linear region of the reflection spectrum of the phase-shift grating as the edge of the edge filtering method to improve the sensitivity of laser detection. Transmission matrix method is then applied in the simulation to analysis the reflection spectrum of grating and reflectance curve of laser. The simulation results show that the strain sensitivity of the longitudinal sensing model of acoustic wave is better than that of the transverse sensing model. The coating layer with low Young's modulus can significantly improve the strain sensitivity of the grating. Under the action of acoustic wave with frequency lower than 1.7 kHz.The longitudinal sensing sensitivity of the fiber grating coated with polyurethane coating reaches 6.1 nm/MPa, which is 381 times higher than that of the bare fiber grating. Combined with the phase-shift grating reflection spectrum linear region, the comprehensive sensitivity is improved by 2 203.6 times, effectively improving the acoustic wave detection sensitivity of the grating.

Li-jun GUO, and Zhong-wei TAN

Optical filters are widely used in many applications, including optical communication, spectroscopy, electronics and optical sensors. The Microwave Photonic Filter (MPF) based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) effect not only has the advantages of low threshold and high gain, but also has the characteristics of reconfiguration and tunability. In this paper, we apply MPF to spectral analysis. Using the tunability of the filter, the spectrum of the whole signal can be measured. And the different frequency components of the signal can be extracted by time-sharing. By setting the center frequency of the swept laser in the pump branch of the filter, the output power of the filter is measured by the optical spectrum analyzer after SBS effect generating by the pump excitation, so as to analyze the spectrum of the signal light. The results show that with the increase of pump power, the filter gain and Out of Band Rejection Ratio (OOBR) first increase and then decrease. The inflection point is about 5 dBm and the dynamic range of the filter is from -35 to -20 dBm.

Random Number Generation by Mode Hopping of VCSEL Using Optical Feedback
Yu-ling ZHANG, Pu LI, Zhi-qiang XIA, Chao-jie CHEN, Li MA, and Bing-jie XU

Recent research results show that great progress has been made in improving the generation rate of physical random numbers. However, there are still some defects such as complex generation process and large volume. To solve these problems, this paper theoretically proposes a scheme for generating random numbers using mode hopping of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) with optical feedback. The VCSEL is perturbed by the optical feedback to generate the mode hopping. The square wave signal then modulates the injection current, periodically restarts the VCSEL to switch from the non-emitting state to the mode hopping state, and finally outputs a random pulse sequence to realize the random number generation. The results of this paper show that unbiased random numbers with verified randomness can be generated continuously at a rate of the order of Gbit/s. Our scheme eliminates the need for optoelectronic conversion and post-processing operations, simplifing the current random number generation structure, which has the potential to realize a low-cost photonic integrated random number generator.

In advanced high-speed fiber optic communication systems, due to the introduction of dense wavelength division multiplexing technology, the signal spectral interval is getting narrower and narrower, and the traditional out-of-band Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) monitoring technology is no longer accurate. Therefore, further study is required in the low-cost in-band OSNR monitoring scheme. A Deep Neural Network (DNN) link OSNR monitoring scheme for Intensity-Modulation and Direct Detection (IMDD) system is proposed. We used a 5-layer DNN trained from 550 000 datasets to successfully estimate the OSNR of the 2 GBaud On-Off Key (OOK) signal in the range of 5 to 15 dB, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is less than 0.8 dB.

Silicon Photonic 2.5D/3D Integration Technology and Its Applications
Xiang-peng OU, Zai-li YANG, Bo TANG, Zhi-hua LI, Jun LUO, Wen-wu WANG, and Yan YANG

With the explosive growth of global network traffic and the consequent increase in bandwidth and energy consumption required for data transmission, traditional electronic interconnection architectures are no longer able to meet the requirement of the growing bandwidth and energy conservation. Silicon-based photonics featured as high bandwidth, low energy consumption, and more importantly, compatibility with Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technologies enables the large-scale Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) and Electronic Integrated Circuits (EIC) to be integrated in a single substrate, hence it is regarded as one of the most promising solutions to address these challenges. However, with the increasing frequency of signals and the increasing number of integrated photonics and electronic devices, parasitic effects are becoming more prominent, leading to a significant degradation in the integration density, bandwidth density, and energy efficiency of the chip. 2.5D/3D integration technologies can effectively reduce the electrical interconnect length and chip size, thus reducing parasitic effects and power consumption, as well as increasing integration density. This paper presents different schemes of silicon based optoelectronic integration and its recent advances, and looks forward to the application prospects of 2.5D/3D integration technologies in data communication, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), biochemical sensing, and optical computing, et al.

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) technology can improve the spectral efficiency of Optical Wireless Communications (OWC). However, it is affected by the artificially introduced Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and atmospheric turbulence, which leads to the degradation of Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. To deal with this issue, a PAM modulated Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)-FTN-OWC system is proposed, and MIMO technology is utilized to suppress the influence of atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, the theoretical BER in log-normal fading channel is deduced, and the influence of channel correlation on the BER performance is analyzed. The simulation results show that the BER performance of 2×2 MIMO-FTN system is 9.5 dB higher than that of Single-Input Single-Output (SISO)-FTN system when BER is 10-4. In addition, the MIMO-FTN system has better BER performance than that of SISO-FTN system when the channel spatial correlation coefficient is lower than 0.6.

Jia-xin WANG

When the data distribution of optical fiber link changes, machine learning can be used to evaluate the transmission quality of link, which needs to recollect data and retrain. This process is time-consuming and complex. Transfer learning directly applies the previously learned knowledge to the current task, which requires less data. Therefore, it is proposed to use two transfer learning methods to realize multi classifier based on machine learning in the correlated optical communication system. The simulation results show that the multi classifier of machine learning combined with transfer learning and fine-tuning technology improves the multi classification index score by more than 0.25 compared with the direct transfer machine learning multi classifier. It is also shown that the impact of sample imbalance is reduced, and each category has high performance. It is proved that the machine learning multi classifier combined with transfer learning and fine-tuning technology can reduce the size of data set, reduce the cost of collecting data set, and improve the efficiency of transmission quality evaluation process in optical fiber link.

Song-lin JIA, Jun-wei LIU, Wu-xia HU, and Ling JIN

This paper proposes a novel Non-linear Camera Assisted-Received Signal Strength (nCA-RSS) algorithm. The basic idea of nCA-RSS is to simultaneously utilize camera and Photo-Diode (PD) to capture visual information and signal strength information to achieve both high coverage and accurate positioning. First, based on single-view geometry theorem, nCA-RSS algorithm estimates incidence angle of visible light based on visual information. Then, based on the estimated incidence angle, nCA-RSS algorithm utilizes signal strength to determine the location of the receiver. Due to the use of visual information, nCA-RSS no longer has orientation limitations. Based on Levenberg-Marquardt, nCA-RSS can use three Light Emitting Diode (LED) to achieve precise 3-Dimensional (3D) positioning. Therefore, compared with perspective n point algorithm, nCA-RSS can achieve high coverage. Simulation results show that nCA-RSS can achieve 80th percentile accuracies of less than 2.5 cm for positioning regardless of the orientation of the receiver.

In order to maintain the stability of the transmitter to ensure the quality of the output signal, we propose a novel technique of automatic bias control based on the pilot signal that can be used in high-order modulation formats. The proposed scheme requires loading a pair of orthogonal pilot signals to the modulator and tapping the frequency-shifted local oscillation light with the signal light output from the modulator to achieve coherent detection. The control of the bias voltage is achieved by means of correlation operation and monitoring the value of the correlation coefficient. This scheme combines coherent detection and correlation detection techniques, which can effectively improve the sensitivity and control accuracy of the system. The feasibility of this scheme in high-order modulation systems and the improvement of sensitivity are also fully verified by simulation.

With the development of 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) and the evolution of network architecture, the analysis and optimization of network coverage need to consider comprehensive factors, including not only the link budget of the base station antenna system, but also the geographical conditions and time characteristics of the area covered by the base station. Therefore, a more accurate network coverage optimization plan should be designed. This paper proposes an adaptive network coverage optimization algorithm based on Q-learning. The method first adopts a cellular network coverage prediction model based on data mining, which can predict the coverage situation of the access terminal through the configuration of the antenna of the cell, and verify the accuracy of the prediction based on real data. Then, a network coverage optimization algorithm based on Q-learning is proposed which modifies the action selection strategy of the agent in reinforcement learning process. According to the coverage of each cell, different optimization priorities are set. Combined with the greedy strategy, a cell and its antenna parameters are decided by the agent in each iteration. This method effectively reduces the probability of falling into a local optimum during the iteration process, and the method also has a good performance in reducing the convergence time of the optimization process. The simulation result shows that the algorithm can increase the network coverage by up to 20%.

Principle and Application of the C-OTDR
Zhong-hua LIU, Hao-min GONG, Yan WU, and Yi-xin ZHANG

The traditional Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) technology uses back Rayleigh scattering power for fiber detection. In transmission lines with optical amplifier, Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) are mostly used to compensate for the loss of signal light and extend the transmission distance of the signal light. Since the EDFA amplifies the signal, it will generate spontaneous radiation noise, and the continuous accumulation of noise will rapidly decrease the signal-to-noise ratio measured by the OTDR. The paper mainly expounds the principle of Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (C-OTDR) technology. The detected signal optical power is concentrated to the intermediate frequency by the coherent detection method, and most of the noise can be filtered out by band-pass filtering the frequency signal. It can continuously extend the detection distance through the EDFA. We also propose to use the frequency shift keying method to eliminate the optical surge problem caused by the cascade of multi-stage repeaters in long-distance transmission of submarine cables. Through the development of self-developed coherent optical time domain reflectmeter, the actual test of C-OTDR technology in the simulated submarine cable multi-span transmission system has reached 3 000 km, which fully meets practical conditions.

Statistical Model of Digital Coherent Combining Efficiency in Multi-aperture Receivers
Jing-song XIANG, and Xin-hao Lü

In order to mitigate the performance fading of Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication system caused by atmospheric turbulence, a multi-aperture receiving scheme based on digital coherent beam combining is used. Digital coherent beam combining relies on the digital phase alignment algorithm to align the different versions of signals in phase. In this paper, the statistical model of combining efficiency for digital phase alignment is derived in multi-aperture FSO receivers by considering the phase alignment errors at each receiving aperture. It can be expressed as a linear function of chi-square distribution by Satterthwaite approximation. Based on this statistical model, we derive the exact expressions of the mean, variance, and probability density function of the combining efficiency. The simulation results show that this model is valuable under the condition of the different number of aperture and signal-to-noise ratio combinations. Combining efficiency is also compared for Equal Gain Combining (EGC) diversity FSO systems with or without considering aperture selection.

Xi WANG, Jie LI, and Ming LUO

Aiming at the modulation problem of high energy efficiency and high sensitivity in the space laser communication system, the Differential Pulse Position Modulation (DPPM) format is studied and applied to the coherent optical communication system. The balance point is found in the system considering power consumption, Bit Error Ratio (BER) performance and bandwidth occupation through simulation and experiment. The experimental results show that in the direct modulation direct detection and coherent optical communication transmission systems, the optical power of the signal path required to reach the hard line is-36.5 and-60.0 dBm respectively when the same transmission channel and the same transmission rate of 1.25 Gbit/s DPPM signal is applied. The optical power margin of the coherent transmission system is increased by about 24 dB compared with the direct detection transmission system. In order to achieve the transmission goal of the hard judgment line, the optical power of the receiver for transmitting the DPPM signal at the rate of 3、6、12、24 Gbit/s needs to be about-49、-47、-42、-36 dBm respectively. It is demonstrated that higher sensitivity and lower BER can be obtained by using DPPM format/coherent detection.

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) detection algorithm is used to compensate the Mode Dependent Loss (MDL) in Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) optical fiber channel. The problem of MIMO detection algorithm is that the computational complexity is too high and the performance is degraded with a large number of modes. This paper proposes to apply Massive-MIMO detection algorithms to the fiber channel, The algorithms include Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE), Conjugate Gradient (CG), Gauss Seidel (GS), and Alternating Direction Method of multipliers based Infinity-Norm (ADMIN), and Optimized Coordinate Descent based BOX constraint (OCDBOX) . The result shows that the OCDBOX has the best Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in MDL-impaired MDM optical fiber communication system while higher complexity. The ADMIN has the second best BER performance and lower computational complexity. Therefore, the ADMIN detection algorithm can represent a good candidate in the MDM system with MDL.

An Electro-optical Hybrid Encryption Method based on MD5 Verification
Ran XUAN, Xiao-xue GONG, Qi-han ZHANG, Rui LI, Yi-jing QIAO, and Wei-gang HOU

In view of insufficient security in the next generation passive optical network, an electro-optic hybrid encryption scheme based on MD5 message digest algorithm check is proposed in this paper. In the scheme, Baker scrambling algorithm and 256 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm are used to encrypt the picture data. The Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) error correction and MD5 check are combined to perform the error correcting coding and check the consistency of the encrypted picture data. In order to strengthen the security of key and MD5 digest distribution, Super Structure Fiber Bragg Grating (SSFBG) is also used to encode them so that they are hidden under the system noise. The simulation results show that after SSFBG coding, the power of the coded signal is as low as-50 dBm, which can achieve the effect of data hidden transmission over the optical fiber channel. Due to the fact that the MD5 check of the received data is added in the scheme, the information changes caused by malicious access attacks cannot be decoded by AES, which improves the security and saves Central Processing Unit (CPU) resources at the same time. Finally, Error rate curve analysis results show that the receiver sensitivity can be effectively reduced by adding LDPC error correction.

Ai-bing YIN, and Yi LI

Aiming at the problem that the two-dimensional uniformity of the frequency hopping pattern in differential frequency hopping communication is poor, and the frequency hopping frequency is easy to be eavesdropped, this paper designs an encryption scheme based on the pseudo-random sequence of logistic chaotic map to randomly scramble the frequency hopping pattern. After verification, the differential frequency hopping pattern after encryption and scramble is compared with the original frequency hopping pattern. Although the performance of the system is reduced, the correlation between frequencies is reduced, and the two-dimensional uniformity is improved, which has strong anti-deciphering ability.

Automatic Gain Control Method and Implementation of Distributed Raman Fiber Amplifier
Yang HU, Cheng-peng FU, Jun CHEN, Qin-lian BU, and Chun-ping YU

Distributed Raman Fiber Amplifier (DRFA) is widely used in modern communication systems because it has a series of excellent features. Considering the existing problems of DRFA gain control, this paper studies and improves a method of Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of DRFA by Amplifying Spontaneous Emission (ASE) out of band. In view of the fact that DRFA gain is greatly affected by the performance of optical fiber link, this paper firstly theoretically analyzes the influence of the joint loss at the position 0 away from the pump source in the optical fiber link on the Raman gain control. Then the splice loss at different positions from the pump source is set to be equivalent to the splice loss at position 0. The relationship between Raman gain and out-of-band ASE power is modified so that the AGC of DRFA can be realized more accurately. The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) function is integrated in the DRFA module to detect the distance between the joint loss and the pump source and the loss value in the engineering optical fiber link. Experimental results show that the proposed AGC method can control the influence of joint loss on DRFA gain within 0.2 dB.

Yu YE, and Yan-chao MA

In recent years, 200/400 Gbit/s transceiver in the form of Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable-Double Density (QSFP-DD) is favored by the market due to their relatively low power consumption and small size for high-density deployment. However, the deterioration of heat dissipation caused by high speed and small size limits the application of QSFP-DD optical modules. In this paper, the finite element method is used to conduct thermal modeling and simulation of QSFP-DD module, and the internal temperature field of 200 Gbit/s QSFP-DD Long Range 4(LR4) optical module in high temperature environment is studied. The effect of thermal pad on improving the internal heat dissipation of the module is verified. The performance of the module in high temperature environment is measured. It provides a reference for the design and application of QSFP-DD transceiver module.

Study on Sensing Performance of MDM Waveguide Coupled with the Square Cavity Containing a Rectangular Groove
Cai-yun WANG, and Jian-fei GUAN

In order to realize tunable multichannel high sensitivity refractive index sensing, a square resonator connected with a Rectangular Groove (RG) is proposed to couple with the highly compact Metal-Dielectric-Metal (MDM) waveguide containing double metal baffles. The transmission spectrums of the proposed waveguide structure have been calculated by the finite element method, which exhibits four sharp, asymmetric transmittance peaks and the magnetic field patterns. Based on the coupling interference between the broadband reflection mode generated by the double baffles and the narrow resonance modes occurred in the composite cavity, the generation mechanism of quadruple Fano resonance is explained. Moreover, the structural parameters of the square cavity and the rectangular groove are changed to study the tunability of the wavelengths of the quadruple transmittance peaks. When the composite cavity is filled with different dielectric media, the calculated sensitivity corresponding to four transmittance peaks are 960, 1 120, 1 320 and 1 560 nm/RIU, respectively. It provides an effective theoretical reference for the design of multi-channel and high sensitivity refractive index sensor.

Optical Network Multi-fault Localization based on Network Topology and Knowledge Graph
Jian-xing HAN, Zhuo-tong LI, Yin-ji JING, Yong-li ZHAO, and Jie ZHANG

As the optical network structure becomes larger and more complex, optical network faults are more likely to occur. After a network fault occurs, due to the derivative characteristics of network alarms, the root cause alarms will generate multiple derivative alarms. Therefore, after network faults occur, the network management system will receive alarm storms. Due to the complex relationship between faults and alarms, the difficulty of locating network faults, especially multiple faults, has also risen sharply. In response to this problem, the knowledge graph technology that is good at managing massive amounts of information and revealing the characteristics of data is introduced into optical networks. The alarm knowledge graph contains rich relationships between alarms, which can be completed by combining Graph Neural Network (GNN) technology. The knowledge-guided automatic reasoning of the root cause of network faults is in line with the fault location ideas of the operation and maintenance personnel in the operation and maintenance process. Further, the network topology information is added in the fault location process, and the knowledge dimension of the knowledge graph is improved. The limitation of the single-fault scenario is lifted, and a high accuracy rate is obtained in the multi-fault location scenario.

PPM Channel Parameter Estimation based on Photon Detection
Jin-song XIANG, Lin GOU, Ning-jie XU, and Xin-hao Lü

In the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) space optical communication channel estimation based on photon detection, two schemes for the estimation of signal photon average and background photon average are proposed. Scheme 1 is based on the characteristic of M-order PPM, where only one of the M slots has a signal optical slot. The signal photon average and the background photon average are roughly estimated by comparing the number of photons in each slot in each symbol counted by the photon detector and by counting the total number of photons in each slot in the error correction frame. The proposed method in scheme 2 is based on that in scheme 1. The signal optical slot position is re-determined by decision feedback in the Serially Concatenated Pulse Position Modulation (SCPPM) system. Since the existence of SCPPM accumulator leads to error propagation, the soft information output by decoding is first interleaved, and then mapped from bit to PPM symbols after hard decision and accumulation. Finally, the position of signal optical slot is re-determined to obtain more accurate signal photon average and background photon average.

Improved Recurrent Neural Network based BP Decoding Algorithm for Polar Codes
Xue-lu DENG, and Da-qin PENG

In recent years, the emerging Deep Learning (DL) technology has made progress in the field of decoding. Current polar code neural network decoder has faster convergence speed and better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than Belief Propagation (BP) decoding. However, it still has the problem of high computational complexity. Therefore, in order to improve this problem, this paper adopts the idea of improving information update in the iterative process, and proposes a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) Offset Min-Sum (OMS) BP decoding algorithm that improves Left information update (RNN-OMSBP-L) . The simulation results show that, compared with the Deep Neural Network (DNN) BP(DNN-BP) decoding algorithm, this algorithm replaces all multiplications with a cost of 6.25% addition. Compared with the current optimized RNN OMS and approximate BP(RNN-OMS-BP) decoding algorithm, the decoding algorithm in this paper uses improved information to reduce 25% of the addition operations with almost no loss in BER performance, while saving part of the storage space overhead. Under the same BER performance, it reduces the number of iterations by 37.5%.
