Abstract

With relatively simple standard transmission equipment, we achieved a wavelength-division-multiplexing transmission with a record-high spectral efficiency of 1.6 b/s/Hz using return-to-zero differential quadrature phase-shift keying and polarization multiplexing over 200-km standard single-mode fiber with a 40-Gb/s capacity per wavelength but 10-GSymbol/s rate.
