Characterization of long-haul 112Gbit/s PDMQAM-16 transmission with and without digital nonlinearity compensation
First to show the benefit of nonlinearity compensation in extending transmission distance for PDM-QAM-16 at 100Gbit/s, the key modulation format for next generation of optical transmission systems and networks. Research was carried out with support and in collaboration with Yokogawa (Japan), Oclaro (UK) and Huawei (China) (over £400k). The significance is in demonstrating the effectiveness of nonlinearity mitigation through digital signal processing, subsequently adopted in all long-haul optical transmission experiments by Alcatel-Lucent, Tyco and others. Described techniques formed basis of research on the use of nonlinear channels to increase transmission capacity investigated under £4.8M Programme Grant UNLOC (J017582/1, PI: Bayvel).
