Abstract

Fast optical frequency shift keying or wavelength shift keying (WSK) modulation offers advantageous features for applications in long haul communications and in optical labeling for packet routing. This includes simple demodulation by optical filtering and constant amplitude envelope providing tolerance to fiber nonlinear effects during transmission. In this paper we report on the generation of WSK signals up to 35 Gb/s with reuse of the wavelength tones for polarization multiplexing two independent 40 Gb/s DPSK signals. Transmission over a 50 km fiber link of the resultant three channel signal is also reported.
