Experimental investigation of nonlinear signal distortions in ultra-wideband transmission systems

The impact of nonlinear interference (NLI) is experimentally investigated in the ultra-wide bandwidth regime. For signal bandwidths up to 7.3 THz it is confirmed that NLI continues to accumulate as predicted by the Gaussian-Noise model.
