title: Novel coherent self-heterodyne receiver based on phase modulation detection.
abstract: We propose a novel coherent self-heterodyne receiver structure based on phase modulation detection that potentially simplifies the front-end of a coherent optical receiver. The scheme has been demonstrated via simulations and experimentally for a 10 Gb/s DQPSK transmission system.
