Future Plans<br />

� <strong>Upgrade</strong> the DPSK XCVR to D-QPSK.<br />

Compared to binary on/<strong>of</strong>f Keying, D-QPSK:<br />

– is 2 times more spectrally efficient, and 4 times<br />

more tolerant to CD & PMD distortions<br />

– has a narrow optical spectrum that can enable<br />

closer channel spacing (more capacity)<br />

� Investigate a coherent based DPSK RX:<br />

– Effective electrical dispersion compensation<br />

– Higher RX sensitivity, and<br />

– Compatibility with several modulation formats<br />
