Transmission of 130-Gb/s PDM-QPSK over 5,760-km with co-propagating 10-Gb/s OOK channels in dispersion-managed NZDSF spans with soft-decision LDPCC coding

We transmit one 130-Gb/s PDM-QPSK channel surrounded by fifteen 10-Gb/s OOK channels at 50-GHz channel spacing over 5,760 km in dispersion-managed TrueWave® REACH spans, with a 20% overhead concatenated FEC scheme using soft-decision LDPCC coding.
