From 2,100 km to 2,700 km distance using phase-shaped binary transmission at 6.3 Tbit/s capacity

Abstract

The distance of our recent 6 Tb/s transmission experiment was increased by fine adjustment of dispersion management and by decreasing the signal power by 1 dB, yielding a record 17 Pbit/s.km capacity/spl times/distance product for terrestrial systems.
