Abstract
We investigated the reach increase obtained through non-linearity mitigation by means of transmission symbol rate optimization (SRO). First, we did this theoretically and simulatively. We found that for PM-QPSK systems at full-C-band the reach increase may be substantial, on the order of 10%-25%, with optimum symbol rates on the order of 2-to-6 GBaud. We extended the investigation to PM-16QAM, where we found a qualitatively similar effect, although the potential reach increase is typically only about half that of PM-QPSK. We then set up an experiment to obtain confrmation of the theoretical and simulative predictions. We demonstrated a reach increase of 11% in a 19-channel, 128 Gbit/s per channel, PM-QPSK experiment, when going from single-carrier to multi-subcarrier (up to 16 subcarriers per channel) transmission. The experiment reached 14,100 km over PSCF, with 110 km spans and EDFA-only amplifcation. The results matched well the EGN model predictions.
