Technology

We report on transmission of a net aggregate data rate of 2.38 Tbit/s (excluding an assumed similar to 7% FEC overhead) over 273 km of fiber with just 16 100-GHz-spaced WDM channels. Due to polarization division multiplex and RZ-DQPSK modulation, each channel carries 160 Gbit/s (including the assumed FEC overhead) although the symbol rate is only 40 Gbaud. Polarizations are demultiplexed using automatic polarization control with a LiNbO3 polarization transformer. In-phase and quadrature data are demodulated in a 1-bit interferometer.
