125 Gbps Pre-Compensated Nonlinear Frequency-Division Multiplexed Transmission
Record-high data rate of 125 Gb/s and SE over 2 bits/s/Hz in burst-mode
single-polarization NFDM transmissions were achieved over 976 km of SSMF with
EDFA-only amplification by transmitting and processing 222 32 QAM-modulated
nonlinear subcarriers simultaneouslyComment: This paper will be presented at ECOC 2017, Gothenburg, Swede
Does the Cross-Talk Between Nonlinear Modes Limit the Performance of NFDM Systems?
We show a non-negligible cross-talk between nonlinear modes in Nonlinear
Frequency-Division Multiplexed system when data is modulated over the nonlinear
Fourier spectrum, both the continuous spectrum and the discrete spectrum, and
transmitted over a lumped amplified fiber link. We evaluate the performance
loss if the cross-talks are neglected.Comment: Invited paper, European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC

Experimental Demonstration of Nonlinear Frequency Division Multiplexed Transmission
We experimentally demonstrate an NFDM optical system with modulation over
nonlinear discrete spectrum. Particularly, each symbol carries 4-bits from
multiplexing two eigenvalues modulated by QPSK constellation. We show a low
error performance using NFT detection with 4Gbps rate over 640km.Comment: Will be presented in ECOC 2015, Sept. 201
On Time-Bandwidth Product of Multi-Soliton Pulses
Multi-soliton pulses are potential candidates for fiber optical transmission
where the information is modulated and recovered in the so-called nonlinear
Fourier domain. While this is an elegant technique to account for the channel
nonlinearity, the obtained spectral efficiency, so far, is not competitive with
the classic Nyquist-based schemes. In this paper, we study the evolution of the
time-bandwidth product of multi-solitons as they propagate along the optical
fiber. For second and third order soliton pulses, we numerically optimize the
pulse shapes to achieve the smallest time-bandwidth product when the phase of
the spectral amplitudes is used for modulation. Moreover, we analytically
estimate the pulse-duration and bandwidth of multi-solitons in some practically
important cases. Those estimations enable us to approximate the time-bandwidth
product for higher order solitons.Comment: Accepted for ISIT 201
