Abstract :
We experimentally study the performance of coded-modulation formats based on Nyquist-spectrally-shaped mQAM constellations with spectral efficiencies from 2.4 to 8.0 bits/s/Hz, and demonstrate that the relative performance in uncompensated links depends only on their respective OSNR sensitivity.
