  • Abstract
    We experimentally compare nonreturn-to-zero and return-to-zero on-off keying with a number of recently proposed modulation formats for 1980-km 42.7-Gb/s single-channel transmission over standard single-mode fiber. Substantial performance improvements are obtained with the new formats.
