Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate a reconfigurable optical flexible transmitter to generate arbitrary optical QAM. Optical 16-QAM and 64-QAM is generated at EVM 8.5% and 7.2% respectively. We demonstrated successful transmission through 80-km SMF-28 after compensating with 20-km DCF with negligible penalty.
