Abstract

A transmitting device, a receiving device, an optical communication system, and associated methods are provided. The transmitting device transmits an optical signal containing data, and comprises: an optical tone generator for generating at least one optical tone; at least one encoder for performing advanced coding on at least one data signal respectively, each of the at least one data signal carrying a part of the data; at least one mapper for performing high order modulation on the at least one coded data signal; and an up-converter for up-converting the at least one high-order-modulated data signal into the optical signal to be outputted through the at least optical tone. Thereby, high speed (e.g., over 1-Tb/s) transmission per single channel over a long-haul distance (e.g. over 1000-km) with error-free recovery may be achieved.
