Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the difference in transmission impairments between 42.8-Gbit/s RZ-DPSK and RZ-DQPSK modulation for long-haul transmission on a 50-GHz grid. We analyze the impact of narrowband filtering and discuss the influence it has on long-haul transmission using the RZ-DPSK and RZ-DQPSK modulation formats.
