A method of their modulated signal generation with computer is described, and a comparison of their spectra and waveforms is made. The 40 Gbps signal transmitted in 200 km G.652 ?ber by way of single channel with erbium-doped-?ber-ampli?er EDFA is simulated for these three formats. The ability of anti-dispersion and anti- PMD is analyzed. It is shown that RZ and CS-RZ formats are more tolerant than NRZ format in the same conditions.

Introduction Thus, the chosen code pattern is the ?rst factor in the high-speed optical transmission system [1,2]. With the rapid development of the next generation of The application of an optical ?ber transmission optical ?ber transmission information system, 40 Gbps system and a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing optical ?ber transmission system and its wavelength- system markedly decreases dispersive tolerance, and division multiplexing WDM system have been the the non-linearity effect has an impact on system focus of research. In order to enhance the capacity of the perfor
