Optical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses of exceptional quality

Luc Thévenaz, Camille Sophie Brès, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Amin Shoaie, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

Sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses possess a rectangular spectrum, enabling data to be encoded in a minimum spectral bandwidth and satisfying by essence the Nyquist criterion of zero inter-symbol interference (ISI). This property makes them very attractive for com ...
