In order to overcome the capacity limitations of current lightwave systems based on the
single-mode optical fiber, massively parallel transmission in the spatial domain [space …

Current fibre optic communication systems owe their high-capacity abilities to the
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technique, which combines data channels running …

In this paper, we review the historical evolution of predictions of the performance of optical
communication systems. We will describe how such predictions were made from the outset …

Equalization enhanced phase noise (EEPN) occurs due to the interplay between laser
phase noise and electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) module. It degrades …

Chaotic optical communication was originally proposed to provide high-level physical layer
encryption. For high-speed and long-distance transmission, chaotic signal is very sensitive …

The use of spectrally shaped amplified spontaneous emission noise (SS-ASE) as a method
for emulating interfering channels in optical fibre transmission systems has been studied. It …

Efficient nonlinearity compensation in fiber-optic communication systems is considered a
key element to go beyond the “capacity crunch”. One guiding principle for previous work on …

Achievable information rates of optical communication systems are inherently limited by
nonlinear distortions due to the Kerr effect occurred in optical fibres. These nonlinear …

A general theory of nonlinear interactions between signal and amplified spontaneous
emission noise in wavelength division multiplexed fiber-optic coherent transmission systems …

We experimentally investigated a pilot-aided digital signal processing (DSP) chain in
combination with high-order geometric constellation shaping to increase the achievable …
