“…For systems using direct detection, 8-ary differential phase shift keying (8DPSK) was theoretically examined in (Ohm, 2004;Yoon et al, 2005), and has been experimentally demonstrated by (Serbay et al, 2005). Using coherent detection, 8-ary PSK was experimentally reported by (Tsukamoto et al, 2006;Seimetz et al, 2007;Freund et al, 2008;Zhou et al, 2008). When combining intensity and phase modulation, symbols can be arranged in different circles (Star QAM) or can be positioned in a square (Square QAM).…”
