Abstract :
2 Tbit/s (200 WDM×10 Gbit/s) transmission over 9240 km using only a C-band erbium-doped fibre amplifier is demonstrated. A vestigial sideband modulation scheme was adopted to realise 0.15 nm channel separation. Ultra-high spectral efficiency of 53% was achieved. All channels showed better than 9 dB Q-factor, which can be corrected to less than 10-9 BER after OSW Super forward error correction
