Flexible Phase Synchronization for Wireless Optical Coherent Communication System With Adaptive Fractionally-Spaced Blind Equalization Combined With Adaptive Kalman Filter by ShuPeng Zhang, LiYing Tan, Jing Ma

“…Operating in different systems and diverse environments presents challenges for phase synchronization, especially lasers with different line-widths and atmospheric turbulence channels that cause scintillation and wave-front distortion. We propose a combination of adaptive fractionally-spaced blind equalization and adaptive kalman filter to realize phase synchronization under different line-widths and different scintillation and wave-front distortion. …”
