Abstract
The multi-eigenvalue multiplexing-based discrete spectrum-modulated nonlinear frequency-division multiplexing (DS-NFDM) system with higher-order modulation format has been demonstrated experimentally. After designing the coefficients of the eigenvalue set and the constellation point distribution of 16-amplitude phase shift keying (16-APSK), the realizations of 14-, 30-, and 46-eigenvalue multiplexed DS-NFDM signals have been implemented. The results show that 46-eigenvalue and 30-eigenvalue multiplexed DS-NFDM signals can transmit 50 km and 400 km over a nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber (NZDSF) under soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) threshold of 2.4E-2, respectively. This demonstration shows for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the record for multiplexed eigenvalue number and data rate of the multiple-eigenvalue-based DS-NFDM system.
