Abstract :
We optimise 40 Gbit/s vestigial-side-band return- to-zero (VSB-RZ) signals for transmission through pre-existing (legacy) single-mode fibre (SMF) links, using AWG filters. We show that back-to-back optimization is inadequate, as the optimal filter characteristics vary with transmission distance.
