VPItoolkit™ DSP Library - Overview

VPItoolkit DSP Library contains an extensive collection of lab-proven digital signal processing algorithms developed by the Photonic Networks and Systems department at Fraunhofer HHI.


It is available as a pluggable toolkit to VPItransmissionMaker Optical Systems and VPIlabExpert.


The VPItoolkit DSP Library supports a wide range of modulation formats such as (DP) BPSK, (DP) QPSK, PS QPSK, (DP) mQAM, probabilistically-shaped QAM, 4D set partitioning and provides the following functionalities:

  • I/Q imbalance correction

  • Clock recovery and deskew

  • CD compensation

  • Carrier frequency and phase recovery

  • Polarization demultiplexing

  • PMD compensation

  • Digital filtering and pre-distortion

  • Kramers-Kronig detection

  • Longitudinal power profile estimation in multi-span fiber links

  • Fiber-induced nonlinearity compensation

  • Perturbation-based end-to-end channel modelling
