By using Optisystem software the performance comparison of NRZ,RZ,CS-RZ and CSRZ-DPSK four kinds of formats in the 40Gb/s DWDM system have been analyzed. The simulation shows that CSRZ-DP- SK format has higher tolerance of chromatic dispersion and PMD than the others, and CS-RZ format has lowest OSNR tolerance.The longest transmission distance of CSRZ-DPSK format and CS-RZ format all exceed 2700kin under the conditions of medium input optical power of each channel in the 40Gb/s DW...
