Abstract

differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) demodulations operated by a structured fiber Bragg grating (FBG) filter and by a Mach-Zehnder delay interferometer (MZDI) in a single-ended configuration are compared. Experimental measurements at 10 Gb/s demonstrate that a specially designed FBG outperfoms an integrated-optic MZDI of about 4 dB and 3.5 dB in back-to-back and after 25-km propagation, respectively. FBG filter proves an interesting solution for DPSK demodulation in low-cost applications and, moreover, can be designed to match colorless requirements of WDM-PON applications.
