Experimental study of symbol-rates and MQAM formats for single carrier 400 Gb/s and few carrier 1 Tb/s options

Based on state-of-the-art transmitter technology we investigated symbol-rate (up to 64Gbd) and constellation size (up to 64QAM) dependencies on the linear and nonlinear transmission performance and compare the maximum SMF reach of various single carrier 400 Gb/s and few carriers 1 Tb/s options.
