The invention discloses a low-complexity
system structure design method based on a high-order optical DPSK
system, and belongs to the technical field of
free space optical communication. According to the design, on the basis of a high-order light DPSK
demodulation principle, according to corresponding distribution of each bit sequence on a
constellation diagram, the most complex bit in the
demodulation process is selected for
constellation reconstruction, 0 and 1 of the bit are dispersed as much as possible to simplify a
demodulation structure, and meanwhile, auxiliary bits are introduced to mark
constellation points for transformation, so that the constellation reconstruction efficiency is improved. And the optical
signal is transmitted to a receiving end through
amplitude modulation, so that the purpose of assisting in demodulating other bits is achieved, and the
system structure is further simplified. According to the high-order light DPSK
optimization system, the higher the
modulation order is, the simplification degree of the
optimization system after constellation mapping reconstruction is higher, and therefore the higher the light power of each demodulated
branch is, and the high-order light DPSK
optimization system can save the
laser emission power and has higher energy efficiency.
