Provides 17dB larger operating range
Achieves outer HD-FEC BER threshold with improved constellation
Abstract
A 16-dimensional Voronoi constellation concatenated with multilevel coding is experimentally demonstrated over a 50km four-core fiber transmission system. The proposed scheme reduces the required launch power by 6dB and provides a 17dB larger operating range than 16QAM with BICM at the outer HD-FEC BER threshold.
