Abstract :
We compare the suitability of 43-Gb/s POLMUX-RZ-DPSK and POLMUX-RZ-DQPSK modulation for long-haul optical transmission. We experimentally demonstrate that the higher robustness against nonlinear impairments of 43-Gb/s POLMUX-RZ-DPSK allows for a ~40% increase in feasible transmission distance.
