Abstract

The invention pertains to optical fiber transmission systems, and is particularly relevant to transmission of large volumes of data over long distances at high rates. An improved method and system for transmitting optical data over long distances using filtered return-to-zero (RZ) modulation format is disclosed. In particular, the improvement teaches the proper optical and electrical filtering of the optical signal at the receiver module.
