Abstract
This article discusses the various schemes for generating typical advanced modulation formats in terms of configuration and cost, and particularly presents some recently proposed configurations for optical data generation with better performance or reduced components, including pulsed multichannel source generation for return-to-zero (RZ)-based WDM application, multichannel dual-mode pulse source for carrier-suppressed RZ (CSRZ)-based WDM application, CSRZ and CSRZ differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) signal generation using a single Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) together with an electrical mixer, chirped RZ generation with reduced modulator number, and RZ/CSRZ-DPSK generation using a single dual-drive MZM and optical minimum shift keying (MSK).
