On Irradiance Distributions for Weakly Turbulent FSO Links: Log-Normal vs. Gamma-Gamma
Carmen Álvarez Roa, Yunus Can Gültekin, Vincent van Vliet +3
Weak turbulence is commonly modeled using the log-normal distribution. Our experimental results show that this distribution fails to capture irradiance fluctuations in this regime.…
Experimental Investigation of Availability in a 4.6 km Terrestrial Urban Coherent Free-Space Optical Communications Link
Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout, Kadir Gümüş +2
We measured the outage probability of a 4.6-km urban free-space optical communication link over six days. High-speed power measurements reveal slow and fast fading effects, with li…
Early Termination of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
Kadir Gümüş, João dos Reis Frazão, Vincent van Vliet +4
We analyse the impact of log a-posteriori early termination on the decoding throughput of reconciliation for continuous-variable quantum key distribution. Increases in decoded secr…
Mitigation of Polarization-Induced Fading in Optical Vector Network Analyzer for the Characterization of km-scale Space-Division Multiplexing Fibers
Besma Kalla, Martina Cappelletti, Menno van den Hout +5
We propose an optimized optical vector network analyzer with automatic polarization control to stabilize the reference arm polarization throughout the sweep range. We demonstrate t…
Optical Field Characterization using Off-axis Digital Holography
Sjoerd van der Heide, Bram van Esch, Menno van den Hout +10
Angular resolved digital holography is presented as a technique for real-time characterization of the full optical field (amplitude and phase) of space-division multiplexing compon…
Experimental validation of MDL emulation and estimation techniques for SDM transmission systems
Menno van den Hout, Ruby S. B. Ospina, Sjoerd van der Heide +8
We experimentally validate a mode-dependent loss (MDL) estimation technique employing acorrection factor to remove the MDL estimation dependence on the SNR when using a minimum mea…
Revisiting Efficient Multi-Step Nonlinearity Compensation with Machine Learning: An Experimental Demonstration
Vinícius Oliari, Sebastiaan Goossens, Christian Häger +7
Efficient nonlinearity compensation in fiber-optic communication systems is considered a key element to go beyond the "capacity crunch''. One guiding principle for previous work on…
First Experimental Demonstration of Probabilistic Enumerative Sphere Shaping in Optical Fiber Communications
Sebastiaan Goossens, Sjoerd van der Heide, Menno van den Hout +8
We transmit probabilistic enumerative sphere shaped dual-polarization 64-QAM at 350Gbit/s/channel over 1610km SSMF using a short blocklength of 200. A reach increase of 15% over co…
Experimental Demonstration of Eight-dimensional Modulation Formats for Long-haul Optical Transmission
Sjoerd van der Heide, Bin Chen, Menno van den Hout +4
Two novel 5.5 bit/4D modulation formats are experimentally demonstrated to transmit over 9680 km of SSMF. A reach increase of 29.4% over the 6 bit/4D PM-8QAM is shown. Furthermore,…
