State-of-the-art of high-capacity optical modulation formats used in high-speed DWDM transmission systems are presented. Simulations of 320 km transmission of DWDM signal show that DQPSK modulation is superior to CS-RZ and duobinary phase modulation with respect to signal degradation due to Kerr nonlinearities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
