Capacity Approaching Transmission Using Probabilistic Shaping and DBP for PFE Constrained Submarine Optical Links

Probabilistic constellation shaping and DBP enables the reduction in per-channel launch power by 2.2 dB, in a 150 channel 11000 km submarine link. For a fixed PFE voltage of 12 kV, the total system throughput is increased by 64%.
