Abstract

A field trial of 100GE signal transmission using dual-carrier differential quadrature phase shift keying (DC-DQPSK) based optical transceiver is demonstrated for 100 Gb/s metro area network. Neither high-end ADC/DSP nor fast optical polarization tracking is required in the DC-DQPSK based optical transceiver, which results in low electrical power consumption of ~ 35 W. The measured OSNR sensitivity of DC-DQPSK optical transceiver at the BER of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">- 3</sup> is 18.3 dB. After the transmission through 516 km of installed fiber and ROADM, an error-free transmission of 100GE signal over 106 hours with OTU4 framer and forward error correction (FEC) decoding proves feasibility of DC-DQPSK optical transceiver for 100G metro network applications.
