Summary:
We describe a field experiment of flexible modulation format adaptation on a real-time 400Gbit/s/ch DSP-LSI. This real-time DSP-LSI features OSNR estimation, practical simplified back propagation, and high gain soft-decision forward error correction. With these techniques, we have successfully demonstrated modulation format allocation and transmission of 56-channel 400Gbit/s-2SC-PDM-16QAM and 200Gbit/s-2SC-PDM-QPSK signals in 216km and 3246km standard single mode fiber, respectively.
