Patent number: 11483074Abstract: Methods of operating an optical communication system in coherent optical transmissions for metro applications. Relative to conventional solutions, the optical communication system can be implemented with reduced cost and can operate with reduced power consumption, while maintaining high data rate performance (e.g., 100G). Furthermore, a programmable transceiver enables compatibility with a range of different types of optical networks having varying performance and power tradeoffs. In one embodiment, the optical communication system uses 100 Gb/s dual-polarization 16-point quadrature amplitude modulation (DP-16QAM) with non-linear pre-compensation of Indium Phosphide (InP) optics for low power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Marvell Asia Pte Ltd.Inventors: Paul Voois, Diego Ernesto Crivelli, Ramiro Rogelio Lopez, Jorge Manuel Finochietto, Oscar Ernesto Agazzi, Nariman Yousefi, Norman L.
