Abstract

In order to meet the exponentially growing bandwidth demands of future data applications, such as massive video services or telepresence, fiber-optic networks need to increase their spectral efficiency in order to continue to provide a cost-effective transport infrastructure. In this chapter, we review the evolution of digital optical modulation, from 10-Gb/s on/off keying systems with direct detection receivers all the way to 100-Gb/s systems using coherent detection and polarizationdivision multiplexing of multi-level modulation formats on one or more optical subcarriers. Finally, we review recent results on the capacity limits of single-mode optical fiber and show that current experimental records approach these theoretical limits to within a factor of 4. Over the next decade, significant efforts are expected not only in the areas of modulation and multiplexing but also in the design of lowloss and low-nonlinearity fiber to be able to further scale capacity.
