20×112Gbit/s, 50GHz spaced, PolMux-RZ-QPSK straight-line transmission over 1540km of SSMF employing digital coherent detection and pure EDFA amplification

By using PolMux-RZ-QPSK modulation format and digital coherent detection, we have demonstrated 20times112 Gbit/s DWDM transmission over 1540 km of SSMF without using Raman amplification or optical dispersion compensation.
