Effects of local oscillator on the performance of DP-QPSK WDM system with channel spacing of 37.5 GHz
Keyword(s):
AbstractDual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) modulation format is emerging as a main contender for 37.5 GHz frequency grid of WDM systems. However, the optical add drop multiplexers (OADMs) affect the performance of the system because of narrow channel spacing. The local oscillator (LO) is an important component of the digital coherent receiver. This paper analyzes the effects of LO parameter on the performance of the considered system. It is exhibited that optimum range of optical power and laser linewidth of the LO helps in improving the performance of the considered system.
