Performance analysis of IM, DPSK and DQPSK payload signals with frequency swept coherent detected spectral amplitude code labelling

We present the performance analysis for frequency swept coherent detection of spectral amplitude code (SAC) labelled switching systems for high-speed payload signals with different modulation formats. We consider a payload bit-rate of 40 Gbit/s for an intensity modulation (IM), differential phase shift keying (DPSK), differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) and 4-channel multi-rate DQPSK payload signals with 2.5, 10, 20 and 80 Gb/s rates for comparison purposes. The label and payload signal performances are assessed by the eye-diagram opening factor (EOF) and bit-error rate (BER) as function of the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). Our proposed SAC label detection method offers flexible, robust and multi-bit-rate label performance for payload signal with different modulation formats.
