Abstract:
A 16-dimensional Voronoi constellation concatenated with multilevel coding is experimentally demonstrated over a 50 km four-core fiber transmission system. The proposed scheme reduces the required launch power by 6 dB and provides a 17 dB larger operating range than 16QAM with BICM at the outer HD-FEC BER threshold.
