Abstract

The impacts of limited bandwidth on the nonlinear transmission performance are investigated by employing a truncated probabilistic shaped 64-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (TPS-64QAM) and a uniformly distributed 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (UD-16QAM) over a bandwidth-limited 75-GHz spaced 25-Tb/s (60 × 416.7 Gb/s) 6300-km transmission system. In terms of nonlinear performance measured by optimal launch power, theoretical analyses show that a 0.4-dB improvement could be introduced by UD-16QAM with respect to TPS-64QAM over a 6300-km transmission without limited bandwidth. However, contrary results would be observed that TPS-64QAM would outperform UD-16QAM by about 0.8 dB in terms of optimal launch power when the impacts of limited bandwidth are considered. Besides, numerical simulations and experimental results could both validate that about 1.0-dB optimal launch power improvement could be obtained by TPS-64QAM under bandwidth-limited cases, which is roughly similar to the results of theoretical analyses. Additionally, WDM experimental results show that all 60 tested channels could agree with the BER requirements by employing TPS-64QAM, further validating the superiority of TPS-64QAM compared to UD-16QAM under bandwidth-limited cases.
