title: Multi-format receiver for non-return-to-zero binary-phase-shift-keyed and non-return-to-zero amplitude-shit-keyed signals.
abstract: A Multi-format receiver for both non-return-to-zero binary-phase- shift-keyed (NRZ-BPSK) signal and non-return-to-zero amplitude-shift- keyed (NRZ-ASK) signal is demonstrated. Multi-format signal detection is based on incoherent BPSK demodulation and ASK-BPSK format conversion. Incoherent BPSK demodulation is realized by a Mach- Zehnder delay interferometer (MZDI) and a feedback decoder. Transmission experiments validate the feasibility of multi-format receiver. This receiver has potential to serve as a useful terminal block for all-optical wavelength division-multiplexed (WDM) networks.
