System and methods for adaptive equalization for optical modulation formats
A method for modifying the performance of an adaptive equalizer in a receiver is provided. A carrier wave comprising a first polarization state and a second polarization state, wherein there is a correlation between the first polarization state and the second polarization state, is received. The first polarization state and the second polarization state are demultiplexed to generate two respective constellations. A first expected value based on the first constellation, and a second expected value based on the second constellation, are calculated. An adaptive equalizer receives a first and second signals associated with the respective polarization states. The adaptive equalizer generates outputs based on the signals. These outputs are used to generate error values. Feedback is input into the adaptive equalizer, wherein the feedback is based on the error values.
