Abstract :
Summary form only given. The problem of evaluating the maximum rate of transmission of information, or capacity, of fibre-optic communication systems is discussed. We will describe a procedure we developed to derive a lower bound capacity of the dasiafibre channelpsila. Spectral efficiency of ~5 bits/s/Hz over 2000 km in one polarization will be shown to be theoretically achievable.
