Abstract

In the paper, bit-interleaved polar-coded modulation discrete multi-tone (DMT) (BIPCM-DMT) with 256-QAM enabled by constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) precoding is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a low-cost intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM-DD) system. In order to conquer the fading effect on mapped bit-levels, two types of interleaver including quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) interleaver and random interleaver are compared to optimize the system performance. However, for 256-QAM BIPCM-DMT system, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fades dramatically as the data subcarrier index increases, it is difficult to match the well-designed operating point of Monte Carlo in the process of polar code construction. Thus, the precoding schemes including CAZAC and orthogonal circulant transform (OCT) are proposed to equalize the uneven SNRs in BIPCM-DMT system. Compared with the bit / power loading and pre-equalization schemes, it will greatly reduce the cost and complexity of the system because channel information obtained by the transmitter via round-trip feedback is not considered. In addition, CAZAC precoding is selected to optimize the BIPCM-DMT system because it is superior to OCT precoding in reducing PAPR. The experimental results show that aided by CAZAC precoding, 20.63 Gb/s BIPCM-DMT signal can be received with an error-free over 50-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). Furthermore, compared with BIPCM-free, only CAZAC precoding, and only random interleaver schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve Q-factor enhancement of 4.82 dB, 2.46 and 1.78 dB, respectively, at the received optical power (ROP) of −5 dBm.
