Experimental demonstration of the improvement of system sensitivity using multiple state trellis coded optical modulation with QPSK and 16QAM constellations

We evaluated experimentally 2, 8, 32 state 32Gbaud TCM-QPSK and TCM-16QAM. TCM offers finer configuration for flexible transponders increasing SE, on 1.1dB wider ranges. TCM may also be used with HD-FEC in lower power transceivers.
