Iterative Electronic Equalization Utilizing Low Complexity MLSEs for 40 Gbit/s DQPSK Modulation

We present simulations of a novel electronic signal processing technique that allows digital equalization of optical 40 Gbit/s DQPSK signals using iterative equlization with mutual exchange of information between low complexity MLSEs.
