Summary: | The high speed rotation of state of polarization (RSOP) is a key issue for 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) coherent optical polarization division multiplexing (PDM) communication systems in strong lightning weather. To reduce the bit error rate (BER) caused by the high speed of RSOP, the historical information is first proposed to correct the demodulation process in coherent optical communication systems. By adding the time reverse error term into the cost function, a new equalization algorithm is proposed for coherent optical communication systems. Compared with the conventional Multi-modulus Algorithm (MMA), simulation results show that the average BER and steady-state error (SSE) of the new algorithm is reduced by 33.47% and 4.08%, respectively. Moreover, the average tolerance of RSOP of the new algorithm is increased by 28.57% compared with the MMA in 16 QAM coherent optical PDM communication systems.
