TL;DR
This paper experimentally demonstrates two new 8-dimensional modulation formats for long-haul optical transmission, achieving higher reach and nonlinear tolerance compared to existing formats, thus advancing optical communication capabilities.
Contribution
The paper introduces two novel 5.5 bit/4D modulation formats and experimentally validates their superior reach and nonlinear tolerance over standard PM-8QAM in long-distance transmission.
Findings
29.4% reach increase over PM-8QAM
Enhanced nonlinear tolerance
Successful experimental demonstration over 9680 km
Abstract
Two novel 5.5 bit/4D modulation formats are experimentally demonstrated to transmit over 9680 km of SSMF. A reach increase of 29.4% over the 6 bit/4D PM-8QAM is shown. Furthermore, increased nonlinear tolerance with respect to PM-8QAM is shown.
