摘要

We propose and investigate a novel frequency shift keying (FSK) format for 40-Gb/s transmission system. In this paper, we present the generation, the dispersion compensation, the detection and the performance evaluation of the proposed FSK format. FSK signal is generated based on the bias voltages of a novel external FSK modulator, which is consisting of two LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulators. By numerical simulation, the transmission performance and the different dispersion compensation schemes of the FSK signal are discussed.
