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 …

Superchannel transmission spaced at the symbol rate, known as Nyquist spacing, has been
demonstrated for effectively maximizing the optical communication channel capacity and …

In today's optical networks, the capacity supported by a single optical fiber is far higher than
the demand between source–destination pairs. Thus, to take advantage of the installed …

Nyquist-spaced transmission and digital signal processing have proved effective in
maximising the spectral efficiency and reach of optical communication systems. In these …

Abstract Recently, single-side-band (SSB) modulation direct detection (DD) based optical
transmission systems have attracted great interest due to their capability of electronic …

A 100% reach extension is demonstrated in a coherent four-channel wavelength division
multiplexed system by employing full-bandwidth frequency-referenced transmitter-side …

We experimentally demonstrate improved intra-channel nonlinearity tolerance of the root M-
shaped pulse (RMP) with respect to the root raised cosine (RRC) pulse in spectrally efficient …

We experimentally investigate idealized digital nonlinearity compensation in a 9-channel
DWDM system. AQ 2-factor gain of 2-dB for single-channel transmission is reduced to 0.1 …

Closed-form expressions of nonlinear interference of dense wavelength-division-
multiplexed (WDM) systems with dispersion managed transmission (DMT) are derived. We …

Deploying periodic inline chromatic dispersion compensation enables reducing the
complexity of the digital back propagation (DBP) algorithm. However, compared with …
