Abstract

In order to solve the problem of ill-convergence for constant modulus algorithm (CMA) in polarization division multiplexing system with optical coherent receivers, a modified CMA based on bit error rate (BER) aiding to control initial tap setup, named as BER-Aiding CMA (BA-CMA), is proposed in this paper. By analyzing the principle of CMA for adaptive digital equalization and polarization demultiplexing, the convergence behavior that leads to undesirable result is evaluated and therefore BA-CMA is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is able to overcome the undesirable convergence effectively and keep inherent advantages of CMA at the same time.
