We experimentally demonstrate the simultaneous compensation of both dispersion and nonlinear effects in a 100 km optical fiber link using optical phase conjugation of a 21 GB aud QPSK and 16QAM signal with nonlinear SOAs. Error-free performance is recorded for a launched power of up to 12 dBm, without any digital signal processing to compensate for distortions due to chromatic dispersion and nonlinear effects in fiber. The performance is verified for operation across the C-band.

We propose an improved pilot free phase noise mitigation algorithm for CO-OFDM systems using weighted multi-level QPSK partitioning and Kalman filtering. Through extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate an improvement in spectral efficiency of >6% in case of 200 Gbps single channel and 1 Tbps multi channel 16QAM CO-OFDM transmission with blind carrier phase estimation. We also experimentally demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm against the standard pilot aided algorithm for the transmission of 120 Gbps 16QAM CO-OFDM at different noise levels.

We present a modified widely l inear single-tap blind equalizer for the joint multi-impairment compensation of polarization mixing, IQ Imbalance and transceiver phase noise, analyze its performance through simulation and experiments for 32Gbaud PM-16QAM transmission.

We demonstrate a record high transmission rate of 100 Gbps/λ with 50 GBd PAM4 and 16QAM-OFDM signals using a packaged wavelength-tunable InAs/InGaAs quantum dot-based laser comb source for short-reach application. We successfully show the performance is within the standard FEC limits.

We report the highest transmission rate of 92 Gbps/λ PAM4 signal over 1 km SMF using a low cost, free-running multi-wavelength FP-laser and show the performance within the standard FEC limit.

We experimentally demonstrate superchannel transmission using CO-OFDM with higher cardinality QAM corresponding to total data rates up to 760 Gbps over 25 km fiber using optical carriers generated from an externally injection locked gain-switched comb source with linewidth ≈19 kHz. Bandwidth re-configurability is demonstrated by operating the comb with different line spacing (20 GHz, 11 GHz) for the choice of (16-/32-/64-) QAM considered and we show the BER performance is within the SD-FEC limit. The system proposed can be used in any short reach application including DCIs and in access networks.
