112Gb/s optical transponder with PM-QPSK and coherent detection employing parallel FPGA-based real-time digital signal processing, FEC and 100GbE Ethernet interface

We demonstrate 112Gb/s transmission using PM-QPSK format and FPGA-based real-time digital signal processing. By employing framed processing architecture for polarization demultiplexing and carrier phase estimation, stable operation of error free after FEC and wide frequency offset have been achieved.
