Abstract :
We demonstrate a non-coherent receiver design requiring only a single delay-line interferometer. Demodulation of 43-Gb/s RZ-DQPSK is experimentally demonstrated with no penalty when compared to a traditional DQPSK receiver using two interferometers. Receiver alignment tolerances are quantified via simulation.
