    Area of Science:

    • Optical Communications
    • Information Theory
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Achieving ultra-high sensitivity in optical communication systems is crucial for efficient data transmission.
    • Existing modulation schemes face limitations in balancing sensitivity and data rate.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a new modulation scheme with unprecedented sensitivity.
    • To investigate the performance of stacked modulation formats for enhanced optical communication.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of stacked modulation formats including 64-Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), 4-Frequency Shift Keying (4FSK), and Polarization-Switched Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (PS-QPSK).
    • Experimental validation of the proposed modulation scheme.
    • Comparison with an alternative stack using 2-channel Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (2OFDM) instead of 4FSK.

    Main Results:

    • A limiting sensitivity of 2.3 photons per bit (3.7 dB photons per bit) was achieved at a bit-error ratio (BER) of 10^-3.
    • The 64PPM-4FSK-PS-QPSK stack encodes 11 bits per symbol, while the 64PPM-2OFDM-PS-QPSK stack encodes 12 bits per symbol.
    • Both modulation stacks demonstrated similar, high limiting sensitivities, likely representing the highest reported for a BER of 10^-3.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed stacked modulation scheme significantly enhances sensitivity in optical communication systems.
    • The experimental and theoretical results confirm the effectiveness of combining PPM, FSK/OFDM, and PS-QPSK for high-sensitivity optical data transmission.
    • This work paves the way for more efficient and robust optical communication networks.
