Performance analysis of modulation formats for 40 Gb/s optical transmission

In this paper different optical modulation formats at 40 Gb/s are theoretically evaluated under three transmission constraints: spectral narrowing due to filter cascading, chromatic dispersion and self-phase modulation. After a cost estimation for each format, multi-line rates and/or multiple format schemes for optical network capacity upgrade are proposed.
