Abstract

In this paper, a Clustering Based Sequence Equalizer is proposed in the context of Intensity Modulated Direct Detection optical communications links operating at 40Gb/s using Differential Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying signaling. The equalizer provides an attractive implementation of the Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation, comprising of two successive steps, namely a) nonparametric estimation of the channel response using a cluster based approach and b) sequence estimation using the Viterbi algorithm. The performance of the cluster based sequence equalizer is investigated my means of computer simulation.
