We investigate the impact of electrical band-limitation on the transmission performance of both carrier suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) and CSRZ differential phase shift keying (CSRZ-DPSK) format for high spectral efficiency DWDM systems. Results show that electrical band-limitation improves signal spectral compactness, leading to reduced linear crosstalk and improved tolerance against chromatic dispersion in optical fiber link without causing any degradation to fiber nonlinearity tolerance. In addition, it is shown that the electrical band-limitation is more efficient to CSRZ-DPSK signal than CSRZ signal in reducing signal degradation caused by linear crosstalk and fiber chromatic dispersion.
