| description | A fast and low-complexity blind chromatic dispersion (CD) estimation method is proposed by a stepwise optimal order search of fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) in coherent optical communications. The method can track the cumulative dispersion over time in future dynamic and flexible scenarios. The validity of the FrFT method is verified by analogy to the field of CD estimation from the energy concentration property of the chirp signal, and the estimation equation of the CD value is obtained by parameter transformation. Numerical simulations have been carried out in the CD range of 1600 ps/nm to 32,000 ps/nm for 28 GBaud PM-QPSK and 14 GBaud PM-16QAM signals. The results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a high CD estimation accuracy with an average estimation error of less than 50 ps/nm within the 4096 sampling points and an order search interval of 0.0001. The effects of the polarization mode dispersion, optical signal-to-noise ratio and nonlinearity on CD estimation performance are discussed. In addition, the stepwise optimal order search method can achieve the purpose of greatly reducing the computational complexity under the premise of ensuring the accuracy of CD estimation. |
