Abstract
We propose a three-dimensional (3-D) low-density parity check (LDPC)-coded modulation scheme that enables optical transmission beyond 320 Gb/s in aggregate rate using currently available commercial components operating at 40 giga-symbols/s. The proposed scheme introduces signifi-cant performance improvement of up to 4.1 dB at a bit-error ratio of 10–9 over the corresponding two-dimensional scheme. In ad-dition, by using LDPC-coded 1024-3D-constellation it is possible, at least in theory, to achieve beyond a total of 1-Tb/s transmission using transmission equipment operating at 100 giga-symbols/s, once it reaches the maturity of 40-Gb/s systems.
