High Spectral Efficiency Transmission with Probabilistic Shaping

We discuss the concept of probabilistic shaping (PS) of constellations, and show that PS allows for flexibly tunable spectral efficiencies at improved transmission performance. We review the application of PS in long-haul laboratory and submarine field experiments.
