100G and beyond with digital coherent signal processing

The demand for increased bandwidth is ever present. Coherent technology coupled with advanced modulation formats and digital signal processing is a key enabler for optical communication systems at 100 Gb/s and beyond. This article reviews the attributes of coherent systems in light of the challenges faced by system designers to realize increased bit rates for next-generation optical systems.
