TLDR
A transmission system with adjustable data rate for single-carrier coherent optical transmission is proposed, which enables high-speed transmission close to the Shannon limit, and it is experimentally demonstrated that the optical transmission of probabilistically shaped 64-QAM signals outperforms the transmission reach of regular 16- QAM and regular 64-ZAM signals.
Abstract
A transmission system with adjustable data rate for single-carrier coherent optical transmission is proposed, which enables high-speed transmission close to the Shannon limit. The proposed system is based on probabilistically shaped 64-QAM modulation formats. Adjustable shaping is combined with a fixed-QAM modulation and a fixed forward-error correction code to realize a system with adjustable net data rate that can operate over a large reach range. At the transmitter, an adjustable distribution matcher performs the shaping. At the receiver, an inverse distribution matcher is used. Probabilistic shaping is implemented into a coherent optical transmission system for 64-QAM at 32 Gbaud to realize adjustable operation modes for net data rates ranging from 200 to 300 Gb/s. It is experimentally demonstrated that the optical transmission of probabilistically shaped 64-QAM signals outperforms the transmission reach of regular 16-QAM and regular 64-QAM signals by more than 40% in the transmission reach.

Normalized Generalized Mutual Information as a Forward Error Correction Threshold for Probabilistically Shaped QAM

TL;DR: It is shown that the normalized generalized mutual information represents an excellent forward error correction (FEC) threshold for uniform as well as for probabilistically shaped QAM and hence allows to accurately predict post-FEC performance from measured pre-Fec data.

Nonlinear Interference Mitigation: Methods and Potential Gain

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential benefits of digital nonlinearity compensation (NLC) techniques in fully loaded coherent wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) transmission systems were explored. And the authors showed that while the BP gain is similar to single-carrier systems, PPRN removal can have a much stronger effect, particularly for higher order QAM systems, implying that SCM can be advantageous not only for constant modulus formats such as QPSK, but also for high spectral efficiency systems.

Threshold Saturation via Spatial Coupling: Why Convolutional LDPC Ensembles Perform So Well over the BEC

TL;DR: The fundamental mechanism that explains why “convolutional-like” or “spatially coupled” codes perform so well is described, and it is conjecture that for a large range of graphical systems a similar saturation of the “dynamical” threshold occurs once individual components are coupled sufficiently strongly.
