Abstract :
We demonstrate simultaneous reception of multiple-rate wavelength-division-multiplexed optical- DPSK signals using a single interferometer. The demodulation approach provides rate-flexibility and scalability, enabling penalty-free performance and compliance with existing channel-rate and channel-spacing standards.
