Abstract

An intersymbol-interference-free pulse shape is specifically designed for self-phase-modulation (SPM) mitigation. It is experimentally shown to increase the SPM tolerance of a 40-Gb/s single-channel postcompensated dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying system by 1.5 dB. Numerical analyses at 40 and 100 Gb/s indicate that the specialized pulse shape can increase the maximum reach for G.652 fiber and G.655 fiber up to 1190 and 820 km, respectively.
