Two variants of differential phase-shiftkeying with π and π/2 shifts are compared theoretically. The expressions are derived for dispersion averaged over all the realisations of the bit sequence. It is shown that in the presence of strong optical filtering the π/2 scheme yields less dispersion of pulses and much better Q-factor in agreement with the experiment. The inequality is confirmed by numerical calculation. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
