5 × 50 Gb/s WDM transmission of 32 Gbaud DP-3-PSK over 36,000 km fiber with spatially coupled LDPC coding

A novel 3-PSK modulation format with 2 dB SNR gain over BPSK is implemented for ultra long haul transmission. With spatially coupled LDPC coding, 50% reach extension is achieved leading to 36.000 km transmission distance.
