OPTICAL TRANSMITTING APPARATUS FOR RETURN-TO-ZERO DIFFERENTIAL PHASE-SHIFT-KEYING (RZ-DPSK) OR RETURN-TO-ZERO DIFFERENTIAL QUADRATURE PHASE SHIFT KEYING (RZ-DQPSK)

摘要

An optical transmitting apparatus is disclosed. The optical transmitting apparatus outputs a signal having the same phase characteristics as a Return-to-Zero Differential Phase-Shift-Keying (RZ-DPSK) signal by using a single phase modulator. Accordingly, it is possible to generate RZ-DPSK signals without using a separate RZ modulator.
