Abstract
Increasing Ethernet data traffic has decreed the need for 100 Gb/s Ethernet (100GE) transport solutions. The scientific community widely recognizes that differential quadrature phase-shift-keying (DQPSK) format together with polarization multiplexing (POLMUX) is the best candidate to achieve 100-Gb/s bit rate [1]. DQPSK alone halves the symbol rate, increasing the chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) tolerance; POLMUX allows to further halve the symbol rate. Thus, by using 25-Gbaud POLMUX DQPSK, 100-Gb/s capacity is achieved with high CD and PMD tolerance.
