Highlight: How Does DPSK Work?<br />
• Transmitted data is encoded on the laser optical phase<br />
differentially between adjacent bits rather than in the amplitude.<br />
• Decoding at the receiver is done via an optical delay-and-add<br />
Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. Here’s how it’s done:<br />
