Spectrally compact optical subcarrier multiplexing with 42.6 Gbit/s AM-PSK payload and 2.5 Gbit/s NRZ labels
A novel approach to optical subcarrier multiplexing with compact spectrum is demonstrated using a 42.6 Gbit/s AM-PSK payload and 2.5 Gbit/s NRZ label. In this implementation, the payload introduces a 4.8 dB penalty on the label receiver sensitivity, and the label causes <1 dB penalty on the payload receiver sensitivity.
