TLDR
A single-ended colorless coherent receiver using symmetric 3×3 coupler hybrids is demonstrated, allowing for colorless reception of fifty-five 112-Gb/s PDM-QPSK channels with 1-dB penalty and the receiver works well in transmission over 2560-km TrueWave-REACH-fiber.
Abstract
We demonstrate a single-ended colorless coherent receiver using symmetric 3x3 couplers for optical hybrids. We show that the receiver can achieve colorless reception of fifty-five 112-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed quadrature-phase-shift-keyed (PDM-QPSK) channels with less than 1-dB penalty in the back-to-back operation. The receiver also works well in a long-haul wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) transmission system over 2560-km TrueWave® REACH fiber.

Polarization-Independent Receivers for Low-Cost Coherent OOK Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a low-cost coherent coherent OOK receiver with three photodiodes and a 3 × 3 coupler was proposed to obtain polarization-independent operation in low-power access networks, where the frequency-detuning between the signal carrier and the local oscillator is high enough, so that intrinsic second order distortions can be spectrally isolated and suppressed by the low pass filtering of the receiver.

Carrier-assisted differential detection.

TL;DR: The proposed receiver architecture opens a new class of direct detection schemes that are suitable for photonic integration analogous to homodyne receivers in coherent detection, and can use cost-effective uncooled lasers, without a need for a precise receiver optical filter.

Towards full band colorless reception with coherent balanced receivers

TL;DR: Analytical models are developed to predict the system performance as a function of receiver design parameters and show good agreement against numerical simulations, showing that the receiver operating range is notably narrowed for dispersion unmanaged links, as compared to dispersion managed links.

ASK multiport optical homodyne receivers

TL;DR: In this paper, a wideband filter-rectifier-narrowband filter (WIRNA) structure was proposed and investigated for the first time for optical communication systems, and it was shown that the optimized WIRNA multiport receivers are extremely robust with respect to the phase noise: the tolerable value of εT is 3.6 percent for 1dB penalty and more than 50 percent for 2dB penalty.
