“…The typical way to achieve a higher SNR is to reduce electrical noise and interference in the transceiver and optical ASE and fiber nonlinearities in the optical link. However, advanced DSP technologies, such as high-coding-gain FEC, PCS, and precise equalization as well as low-noise optical links consisting of low-loss and low-nonlinearity fibers with distributed Raman amplifiers [38], are already being actively deployed. Thus, further increasing the aggregate net rates in a single-core SMF To obtain a high-quality, high-symbol-rate signal, it is important to minimize the narrowing of the signal band due to the frequency response of optical/electrical devices in the transceiver.…”
