Abstract :
This paper presents a novel configuration for return-to-zero (RZ) differential phase shift keyed (DPSK), carrier suppressed (CS) RZ DPSK and chirped nonreturn-to-zero (CNRZ) signal generation, which only requires a single stage dual electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM). RZ-DPSK, CSRZ-DPSK or CNRZ signal can be obtained via the same configuration by changing the DE-MZM operation conditions.
