Title: | Generation of square or hexagonal 16-QAM signals using a dual-drive IQ modulator driven by binary signals | Authors: | Yan, S Weng, X Gao, Y Lu, C Lau, APT Ji, Y Liu, L Xu, X |
Issue Date: | 17-Dec-2012 | Source: | Optics express, 17 Dec. 2012, v. 20, no. 27, p. 29023-29034 | Abstract: | We propose a simple square or hexagonal 16-QAM signal generation technique using a commercially available dual-drive IQ modulator driven by four binary electrical signals with properly designed amplitudes. We analytically derive the required driving signal amplitudes for square and hexagonal 16-QAM and characterize its implementation penalty. Polarization-multiplexed (PM)-16-QAM signals at 28 Gbuad are experimentally demonstrated and stable performance is achieved with simple bias control. | Keywords: | Fiber optics communications Modulation |
