Fiber nonlinearity compensation by repeated phase conjugation in 2.048-Tbit/s WDM transmission of PDM 16-QAM channels

We demonstrate compensation of fiber nonlinearities using repeated optical phase conjugation (OPC) in a WDM system with eight 32-Gbaud PDM 16-QAM channels, showing improved performance over a single mid-span OPC and no OPC.
