Experimental study comparing characteristics of 10Gb/s RZ-AMI format generated by CML and MZM-DI transmitters
05 March 2006
We compare the dispersion and nonlinear tolerance of 10-Gb/s RZ-AMI format generated by a chirp managed laser (CML) with that generated by a MZM delay-interferometer transmitter. The CML delivers comparable performance in a small footprint.
