Abstract:
We experimentally investigate 4-D set-partitioning formats in digital subcarrier multiplexing systems. The proposed 4-D set-partitioning of signals across two subcarriers outperforms the conventional approach implemented across two polarizations in terms of both nonlinearity and optical filtering tolerance.
