Experimental Study of 16-, 32- and 64-QAM Constellation Sets in the 200-Gb/s Regime on a Data Rate Flexible System
17 March 2013
We implement a constellation-set and data-rate flexible system for transmission in 200Gb/s regime. Experimental evaluation of 16-, 32-, 64-QAM constellation sets show a small benefit for circular shapes compared to widely used square sets.
