[摘要]：We propose and experimentally demonstrate a hardware-efficient, feed-forward, wide-range frequency offset estimator for DSP-based optical coherent receivers. Using a simple relationship of signal spectrum, this estimator is capable to estimate offsets in a range compliant with OIF requirements. Obtained results show that this estimator has a high tolerance to spectrum asymmetry caused by electrical and optical signal filtering, even when using return-to-zero pulse shaping.
