Near Shannon capacity 24.6Tb/s Transmission Over 10,285km Straight Line Deployed Testbed at 5.86 [b/sym/Hz] Spectral Efficiency Using PCS-36QAM and C-Band EDFA-Only
17 September 2017
We report on a C-band 10,285 km straight line deployed testbed transmission using new capacity-approaching truncated probabilistically-shaped PCS-36QAM. Seven optimized code rates SC- LDPC decoding allows a 24.6 Tb/s transpacific transmission with spectral efficiency of 5.84 [bit/sym/Hz].
