Abstract
We investigate the transmission characteristics of a two-level optically
labeled signal with amplitude-shift keying (ASK) and differential phase-shift keying
(DPSK) modulation. Theoretical analysis suggests that a precompensation scheme has a
better transmission performance for a 10-Gbit/s ASK payload and 2.5-Gbit/s DPSK
label compared with postcompensation, which has been confirmed by our transmission
experiment. The limitations resulting from the extinction ratio and the laser
linewidth are also discussed.
