Abstract :
We report on high-capacity coherent links employing dual polarization 2D-CAP modulation, allowing for signal design in 8-dimensional space. Successful demodulation of 221 Gb/s (7.5 b/s/Hz) and 336 Gb/s (7.8 b/s/Hz) after 225 km and 451 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) is achieved.
