  • Abstract
    A simple 20 Gbit/s alternate-phase return-to-zero (APRZ) transmitter is demonstrated using a 10 Gbit/s integrated dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM). Two RZ streams are time-multiplexed with stable and adjustable phase relation. Simulation results show that the APRZ generated by this transmitter is robust to nonlinear transmission impairments.
