Abstract :
We experimentally generate 28-GBd polarization-switched quadrature phase-shift keying signals. In transmission experiments over up to 12500 km ultra-large effective-area fiber, we compare their performance to polarization-multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying signals at the same bitrate.
