Four-dimensional polarization-ring-switching for dispersion-managed optical fibre systems.

The recently introduced 4D 64-ary polarisation-ring-switching format is investigated in dispersion-managed systems. Numerical simulations show a reach increase of $25\%$ with respect to PM-8QAM. This gain is achieved from the nonlinear tolerance of the format and a 4D demapper using correlated noise assumptions.
