Abstract

The realization of high-speed optical networks hinges on the efficient use of network resources. To optimize the utilization of the limited network resources, we have developed novel combined optical modulation formats. Combined optical modulation allows the transmission of two independent data streams simultaneously on the same optical carrier using a separate modulation format for each stream. Each individual data stream is then received separately with a separate optical receiver. The use of combined optical modulation optimizes the utilization of network resources by allowing the transmission of two separate data streams with a single transmitter laser
