  • Abstract
    Optical self-homodyne DPSK transmission has been achieved at 1 and 2 Gbit/s data rates with respective receiver sensitivities of ¿34.4 dBm and ¿32.4 dBm at 10¿9 BER. No dispersion penalty was observed after transmission through 86 km of optical fibre with 17 ps/¿m/km dispersion at the operating wavelength of 1.53 ¿m.
