title = "Capacity achieving modulation format for high-speed optical networks",
abstract = "In recent years, we have witnessed an increased demand on optical-networks transmission-capacities due to the growing popularity of the Internet and multimedia in everyday life. According to industry expert estimates, 1Tb/s-Ethernet should be standardized by the year 2012-2013. To this end, we propose a non-uniform modulation format that achieves the channel capacity for SNRs of up to 25dB. The proposed modulation format is optimized for ASE-noise-dominated channels and can achieve 400Gb/s data rate per polarization utilizing the currently-available components operating at 50-GSymbols/s. One major benefit of the current scheme is that it is an affordable upgrade to the current systems.",
