Narrow filtered DPSK implements order-1 CAPS optical line coding

A novel family of optical line codes has been presented elsewhere, here referred to as combined amplitude-phase shift (CAPS) codes. We show here that narrow filtering of a differential phase shift keying signal with bandwidth equal to about 2/3 of the bit rate turns out to closely implement the order-1 CAPS line coding. Performance of the two systems is compared for various types of optical filters.
