We devised an optical modulator with a high field-response linearity, which is suitable for a DAC-based multilevel coherent transmitter. An advantage over a conventional MZM in terms of the linearity-loss tradeoff was demonstrated.

Non-linear tolerance measurements of DP-16QAM (28 Gbd) signals with transmitter based digital signal pre-distortion are reported, showing systematic performance gains of fibre launch power versus pre-distortion (~1.5 dB for 6 uncompensated SMF spans) and a distinct reduction of the non-linear threshold spans scaling factor.

A real-time FPGA-based receiver of 21Gb/s PS-QPSK signal is reported and tested against optical noise, chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and state of polarization (SOP) scrambling. A comparison with PDM-QPSK realized with equivalent parameterized setup and signal processing confirm the greater tolerance of PS-QPSK over PDM-QPSK.
