We explore the mitigation of atmospheric turbulence effects for orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based free-space optical (FSO) communications with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architecture. Such a system employs multiple spatially separated aperture elements at the transmitter/receiver, and each transmitter aperture contains multiplexed data-carrying OAM beams. We propose to use spatial diversity combined with MIMO equalization to mitigate both weak and strong turbulence distortions. In a 2×2 FSO link with each transmitter aperture containing two multiplexed OAM modes of ℓ=+1 and ℓ=+3, we experimentally show that at least two OAM data channels could be recovered under both weak and strong turbulence distortions using selection diversity assisted with MIMO equalization.

Commonly used linear equalizers in optical transmissions may induce in-band noise enhancement in the high-frequency region, degrading signaling performance. In this Letter, we propose for the first, to our knowledge, time, to mitigate the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) equalizer-enhanced noise (EEN) in coupled-core multicore fiber (CC-MCF) systems by utilizing the spectral shaping (SS) filter and maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD), which have shown effective EEN mitigation in SMF systems. However, CC-MCF systems feature multiple spatial channels, each requiring separate coefficient optimization for SS filters corresponding to each output of MIMO.

- The digital subcarrier multiplexing (DSCM) technique is beneficial for coherent systems but faces challenges due to sensitivity to transceiver IQ skew, which causes interference.
- A new low-complexity calibration method is introduced that requires less power and eliminates the need for complex MIMO operations between symmetric subcarriers.
- Additionally, a simplified equalizer (SEQPT) is proposed to efficiently handle polarization de-multiplexing, channel equalization, and phase noise compensation, and experimental results show it performs nearly as well as more complex methods with minimal computational demand.
In mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems, the computational complexity of the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) equalization module is a critical obstacle to practical development. The step size μ and the number of taps K are key parameters in the equalization algorithm, influencing the performance of finite impulse response (FIR) equalizers, including convergence speed and output signal quality. To alleviate the computational burden of locating the optimal μ-K combination, we propose two ant colony optimization (ACO) -based MIMO equalization schemes: the fixed ACO-MIMO and the random ACO-MIMO, corresponding to two optimization strategies.

Moreover, the practicability of the single polarization optical/THz link, which is commonly used in the previous long-range THz demonstrations based on photonics, is extremely limited by the following two fatal defects. One is relying on active polarization control, and the other is not supporting the transparent bridging of optical polarization division multiplexed (PDM) signals for mature coherent optical communication networks.
