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 />
