Dispersion Tolerant 80-Gbit/s Carrier-Suppressed Return-to-Zero (CS-RZ) Format Generated by Using Phase- and Duty-Controlled Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM) Technique
Summary: We achieved a dispersion tolerance of 25-ps/nm at 80-Gbit/s using novel carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CS-RZ) coding realized by duty ratio and optical multiplexing phase control. We also show that the dispersion tolerance strongly depends on the relative optical phase difference between adjacent time slots, and demonstrate 80-Gbit/s 60-km DSF transmission without dispersion compensation by using a newly-fabricated stable 80-Gbit/s OTDM transmitter.
