description We propose a blind digital modulation format identification (MFI) method for coherent optical fiber communication systems. Based on the evaluation of differential phase distribution ratio (DPDR) and average of amplitude ratio (AAR), a monitoring factor <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R}$</tex-math></inline-formula>, the product of DPDR and AAR, is defined to distinguish whether the signal modulation format is QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64-QAM. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MFI can perform an identification when the OSNR of the incoming signal is greater than 12&#x00A0;dB. The proposed method needs no extensive training data sets and can tolerate residual chromatic dispersion (&#x2212;210&#x2013;210 ps/nm) and phase noise.
