Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate that symbol-rate optimization (SRO) provides nonlinear gains in multi-carrier systems, even with PCS modulation and realistic DSP. Optimized carrier phase recovery is crucial to achieving 0.2 dB gain for 1400 km 800G transmission, out of the ∼0.7 dB theoretical maximum gain we measured.
