Performance and Advantages of 100 Gb/s QPSK/8QAM Hybrid Modulation Formats
15 June 2015
We developed time-domain hybrid-modulation with adaptive symbolrates to optimize the reach of WSS routed future 100 Gb/s systems. Experimental comparisons show, that our 25.6 Gbd 8QAM/QPSK hybrid format is an attractive solution supporting long reach 37.5 GHz grid applications with reasonable FEC complexity.
