The optimization of multiplexing (MUX) and demultiplexing (DMUX) 3-dB filter bandwidths for the optical differential quadrature phase shift key (DQPSK) combined with the return-to-zero (RZ) and carrier-suppressed returnto-zero (CS-RZ) is performed. The study of different optical signals in the 40 Gb/s dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system, with high spectral efficiency, is shown ...
