WDM-DPSK detection by means of frequency-periodic Gaussian filtering

A single frequency-periodic narrow filter converts DPSK to intensity modulation in a high number of WDM channels. It also strongly enhances their tolerance to chromatic dispersion and is exploited in a 16 x 10 Gbit/s transmission over 240 km G.652 fibre with no chromatic dispersion compensation.
