Abstract

A new direct-detection-compatible signalling scheme is proposed for fiber-optic communication over short distances. Controlled inter-symbol interference is exploited to extract phase information, thereby achieving spectral efficiencies about one bit less, per second per hertz, of those of a coherent detector.
