Electronic equalization has recently attracted considerable interest for impairment compensation for its significant cost saving and adaptive compensation capability. In this thesis, we propose novel maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) structures for various advanced modulation formats. Electronic equalization of advanced modulation formats further extends the transmission reach and relaxes the speed limitation of electronic devices. We also propose novel application of MLSE for mitigation of timing misalignment between the pulse carver and data modulator in return-to-zero (RZ) systems. / In access networks, we focus on the achievement of centralized light source (CLS) wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical networks (WDM-PON) with data rate of 10 Gbit/s for both downstream and upstream signals. The previous CLS WDM-PON schemes at 10 Gbit/s suffer from chromatic dispersion (CD) and/or asynchronous upstream modulation. We propose two solutions to mitigate these impairments. By eliminating the modulation synchronization module and all-optical CD compensation module, the proposed methods greatly reduce the cost and operation complexity of high-speed WDM-PON. / In the monitoring for impairment compensation, we propose a polarization-insensitive monitoring scheme for synchronized phase re-modulation by using a narrowband optical-passband filter (OBPF). With the optimal central wavelength of the OBPF, high monitoring sensitivity is achieved. / The increasing bandwidth demands have aroused a myriad of industry and academic activities to develop cost-effective optical communication systems with data rates of 10 Gbit/s and beyond. However, as the capacity grows, many signal degradation effects become prominent and seriously limit the data rate and the transmission distance. The mitigation of the impairments inevitably increases the operation complexity and implementation cost. The focus of this thesis is to develop new impairment mitigation approaches to improve the impairment compensation performance and/or to reduce the operation complexity and cost. As a result, cost-effective high-speed optical communication systems are enabled. / To freely enable the employment of advanced modulation formats for optical communications, we propose all-optical conversion from 40-Gbit/s RZ signal to 40-Gbit/s inverse-RZ/10-Gbit/s differential-phase-shift-keying orthogonal modulation signal to interface high-speed transmission systems using RZ format with networks using orthogonal modulation format. We also propose a novel all-optical coding and decoding scheme for 20-Gbit/s four-amplitude-shift-keying signal. / Zhao Jian. / "July 2007." / Adviser: Lian-kuan Chen. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: B, page: 0579. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 152-173). / Electronic reproduction.
