Abstract

In this letter, we proposes and experimentally demonstrates an optical layer modulation format conversion technique from quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) to 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based flexible optical wavelength division multiplex (WDM) networks. The 16-QAM-OFDM signal is generated by direct detection after the superposition of two QPSK-OFDM optical signals with different optical powers and wavelengths. The optical power ratio 2:1 of two QPSK-OFDM signals can be realized by adjusting the power of two coupled optical signal in switching nodes. The tolerance to symbol delay and power deviation of two QPSK-OFDM signals is also experimentally evaluated.
