51x1Tb/s Transport over 2,000 km Transmission with Joint Optimization of Modulation Format and FEC Code Rate
22 September 2013
We report the joint optimization of modulation format and FEC code rate for the transmission of 1-Tb/s clusters of channels, composed by three 50-GHz-spaced WDM channels. We transmit 51-Tb/s data over 2,000 km with 6.7 bit/s/Hz spectral efficiency.
