Abstract

High-data-rate transmission at 20 Gb/s has been demonstrated over both Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific distances. To make 40 Gb/s systems economically viable it is important to achieve the data rate increase without significantly increasing complexity. This ensures that the inherent advantages of high-bit-rate transmission are realized: reduced cost, power consumption, and floor space.
