Abstract
This paper describes ultrahigh capacity transmission based on spectrally-efficient multi-level modulation and wideband optical amplification techniques. 21.4-Gbaud polarization-division multiplexed (PDM) 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals are generated by utilizing an optical synthesis technique, wavelength-multiplexed with 25-GHz spacing by optical pre-filtering, and received by an intradyne coherent receiver based on digital signal processing (DSP) with pilotless algorithms. These techniques realize a spectral efficiency (SE) of 6.4 b/s/Hz. Furthermore, a hybrid amplification technique that combines distributed Raman and dual-band erbium-doped amplifiers (EDFAs) realizes 10.8-THz signal bandwidth in C- and extended L-bands. By using these techniques, we successfully demonstrate 69.1 Tb/s transmission over 240 km of low loss pure silica core fibers.
