Method and device for receiving optical signals
First Claim
1. A method of receiving optical signals for an optical communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving from an optical receiver an input signal comprising a signal component and an interference component, wherein the interference component is subcarrier to subcarrier intermixing interference (SSII);
converting the input signal into a frequency domain input signal;
estimating the interference component according to at least a dynamic chirp component and a static chirp component; and
cancelling the interference component from the frequency domain input signal to obtain a second signal.

Abstract
A method for receiving optical signals and a device using the same method are provided herein. The method includes the elements of receiving an input signal which includes a signal component and an interference component, wherein the interference component is subcarrier to subcarrier intermixing interference (SSII). The input signal is first converted into a frequency domain signal. The interference component of the input signal is estimated based on a mathematical model according to at least a dynamic chirp component and a static chirp component. The interference component is then cancelled from the input signal to obtain an output signal.
