Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Conference Start Date: 2016, June 5 Conference End Date: 2016, June 10 Conference Location: San Jose, CA, USA We demonstrate an optical multiplexing and transmission of QPSK-to-16QAM channels over 100 km using wave mixing for aggregation and noise mitigation. For the input signals with phase noise of ∼50, 35 degree and 300 MHz noise bandwidth, the OSNR penalty of ∼1dB is obtained at BER 10–3 for aggregated 20 Gbaud 16QAM signal compared to the case of having no phase noise in input signals.
