Abstract

We compare experimentally the on-off keying (OOK) modulation format with the bandwidth efficient duobinary modulation format in 10 Gb/s Ethernet short haul transmission systems based on multi mode fibre (MMF). Thereby, the investigations are focussed on the robustness towards the negative influences of multimode fibre characteristics. It is shown by experiments that the duobinary modulation format owns a better performance against the limiting fibre influences due to the narrower spectrum. Based on these experimental results, the duobinary modulation format seems to be a very promising candidate for short haul transmission systems based on multi mode fibre as well as on single mode fibre.
