Abstract

The performance of a feedforward carrier frequency recovery algorithm for 16-QAM optical coherent systems is investigated using the QPSK partition scheme. The frequency estimation technique, which employs only a subset of the 16-QAM symbols with the QPSK partition, is demonstrated to be effective when applied prior to the carrier phase recovery. Frequency offset of 10^-1 times the symbol rate is shown to be tolerable at a BER of 10^-3 with combined linewidths symbol duration products of 10^-4.
