Patterning Effects in WDM RZ-DBPSK SMF/DCF Optical Transmission at 40 Gbit/s Channel Rate

Summary form only given. In this paper an important new example of a system with strong and nontrivial patterning effects is presented. There has been much interest lately in the implementation of the differential phase shift-keying (PSK) modulation format for long-haul and ultra long-haul fibre communications and, in particular, the differential binary PSK (DBPSK) modulation format, where data is encoded into the optical phase. The results of a direct computation of the error statistics for an SMF/DCF RZ-DBPSK 5-channel WDM RZ-DBPSK link with hybrid Raman/EDFA amplification at 40 Gbit/s per channel, with a channel separation of 100 GHz are presented. The statistics of bit triplets and quantify strong pattern-dependent ISI are obtained.
