Cycle slip tolerant hybrid turbo differential decoding

We experimentally investigate the cycle slip tolerance of an enhanced Turbo Differential Decoding algorithm in nonlinear transmission. Error-free post-FEC measurements using a 100G QPSK DWDM module show excellent tolerance against cycle slips without a differential encoding penalty.
