Investigation on the robustness of a Nyquist-WDM Terabit superchannel to transmitter and receiver non-idealities

Abstract

We analyze by simulation the performance of a Terabit superchannel composed of 10 PM-QPSK sub-channels at 111 Gbit/s with tight channel spacing in the presence of system non-idealities both at the transmitter and at the receiver side.
