Abstract :
Digitally processed modulations formats such as Nyquist-WDM are investigated for implementation of future flexible optical networks, by using integrated photonic devices and moderate speed optoelectronics. We compare with other modulation formats as OFDM regarding complexity and adaptability to transceiver limitations.
