Abstract :
Employing PolMux-RZ-8PSK modulation and coherent detection, we demonstrate 25 GHz-spaced, 161times114 Gb/s DWDM transmission through eight spans of ultra-low-loss fiber (average span length/loss of 82.75 km/14.6 dB) with a record capacity of 17 Tb/s (spectral efficiency 4.2 b/s/Hz) within the C-band EDFA bandwidth (4.025 THz).
