Abstract
A bandwidth- and power-efficient modulation scheme using M-ary differential phase-shift keying (DPSK)/differential quadrature amplitude modulation (DQAM) and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes as component codes in a multilevel coding (MLC) is proposed for optical transmission systems with direct detection. An MLC scheme with 2 b/s/Hz spectral efficiency based on block-circulant component codes provides the coding gain of 12.3 dB when compared to uncoded 8-DPSK, and 8.3 dB when compared to uncoded 4-DPSK (QDPSK).
