Abstract
We present the multi-amplitude level minimum shift keying (M-ary MSK) modulation scheme for long haul optically amplified transmission systems. New configurations of optical M-ary MSK transmitters using two cascaded electro-optic phase modulators are proposed and its detailed operation principles are expressed. The optical receiver for optical multi-amplitude MSK modulation format requires both amplitude direct-detection and differential phase balanced-detection. Numerical results on spectral characteristics, dispersion tolerance and the relationship between amplitude and phase with launched average power for long-haul transmission of multi-level MSK modulation format are presented. The dispersion tolerance shows that the 2-amplitude MSK at 80Â Gb/s is well compared with 40Â Gb/s binary MSK modulation format.
