Signal waveform of NRZ-OOK transmitter is generated by

In case of duobinary transmitter, randomly generated data
are split to two arms. Using logical NOT component, the logical
state of data is inverted in one of the two arms. Signals in both
arms are then driven through NRZ modulator driver and
modulated using optical dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator

In this equation, I1 and σ1 are mean values and variance output

NRZ-OOK and duobinary modulation are the most open which
predisposes low BER and high OSNR (Q factor) values. The
performance of NRZ-DPSK channel is a lot under excepted
BER value (1e-012) of modern optical communication systems.
Its value is 2.59e-003. This drawback is refined by CRZ-DPSK.
All values of BER and Q factor of 1480 nm channel using above
mentioned modulations are in Table III.

We can see from the figure above and the Table II below,
the power level of NRZ-OOK and duobinary modulation (200
THz) is higher than NRZ-DPSK and CRZ-DPSK. NRZ-DPSK
modulation offers low signal level (-14.254 dBm) at the output
of the proposed ODN. This shortcoming has been removed by
implementation of chirped return to zero DPSK (-12.949 dBm).
The variation in input and output power is caused due to
modulation process. The power levels of input and output
