Abstract: The present invention relates in general to communication systems, and more specifically towards methods, systems, and devices that help improve transmission rates and spectral efficiency of intensity modulated (IM) or power modulated channels utilizing multi-level pulse amplitude modulation PAM-M. In an embodiment, the present invention used an iterative algorithm to open the eyes of an eye diagram in a relatively short number of steps. The algorithm, which may not require previous characterization of the channel, utilizes pseudo-random sequences, such as PSBS15 or PRQS10, and adaptive non-linear equalizers to optimize the pre-distortion taps.

Abstract: Methods for estimating the Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of laser optimized Multimode Fiber (MMF) at a specified wavelength, λS, based on the measured EMB at a first reference measurement wavelength, λM. In these methods the Differential Mode Delay (DMD) of a MMF is measured and the Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) is computed at a first measurement wavelength. By extracting signal features such as centroids, peak power, pulse widths, and skews, as described in this disclosure, the EMB can be estimated at a second specified wavelength with different degrees of accuracy. The first method estimates the EMB at the second specified wavelength based on measurements at the reference wavelength. The second method predicts if the EMB at the second specified wavelength is equal or greater than a specified bandwidth limit.

In at least some of the disclosed systems and methods, an optical fiber termination system (100) may include a reference fiber (301) coupling a light source (201) and a stub fiber (101) of a fiber optic connector (109), a digital camera sensor (205) and lens (204) to capture images of scattered light emanating from a portion of the fiber optic connector (109) and a portion of the reference fiber (301) both in a field of view (FOV) of the digital camera sensor (205), and a processor (206). The processor (206) may analyze digital images of scatter light emitted from at least a portion of the fiber optic connector (109) and the reference fiber (301) to estimate insertion loss at the fiber optic connector (109).
