  • Abstract
    We report experimental results of 8×40 Gbit/s polarization-channel-interleaved carrier-suppressed RZ transmission over 2×160 km NDSF, with 0.8 bit/s/Hz spectral efficiency. Average system linear Q of 6.5 (231-1 PRBS) and tolerance of at least 50% degradation in orthogonality were demonstrated.
