            Abstract : 
This tutorial reviews technologies towards terabit transport: Increase of bitrate per channel by higher symbol rate or higher number of bit per symbol, alternatively superchannel application consisting of non-overlapping or overlapping sub-channels contributing to increased spectral efficiency.
