4 Tbit/s transmission reach enhancement using 10x400 Gbit/s super-channels and polarization insensitive dual band optical phase conjugation

The data sets collated in the first 12 worksheets comprise the BER measurements of the experiment reported in the associated papers, along with selected optical spectra. Each data point is reported as a mean and a peak to peak range, obtained from 5 individual oscilloscope captures using the signal processing software described in reference 41. Each worksheet shows the same information for a different configuration of the number of superchannels (or conventional channels). Worksheet titles indicate the centre of the band who's measurement results are reported (transmitter optimised for this band) and the number of superchannels used. The first spreadsheet (193T WDM) uses a single sub-channel in place of the 400 Gbit/s super-channels. An additional worksheet reports the Raman OTDR measurement data The worksheets show, to the left of the solid blocked out column - performance without OPC, and to the right - performance with OPC. Presented results are (from top to bottom); A power sweep at the estimated transmission reach used to optimise the launch power, a measurement of the central superchannel as a function of transmission distance, and a measurement of the performance of each superchannel at the maximum reach where all superchannels were found to be operating below the FEC threshold. In addition, typical optical spectra at two transmission reaches are reported. Note, for a given worksheet results with OPC are of course frequency shifted from the without-OPC results.

所收集的前12个工作表中的数据集包括了相关论文中报道的实验的误码率（BER）测量结果，以及选定的光学光谱。每个数据点均以平均值和峰值至峰值范围的形式报告，这些数据是通过使用参考41中描述的信号处理软件从5个独立的示波器捕获中获得的。每个工作表展示了不同配置下超信道（或传统信道）数量的相同信息。工作表标题指示了报告测量结果的频带中心（发射器针对此频带进行优化）以及所使用的超信道数量。第一个电子表格（193T WDM）使用单个子信道代替400 Gbit/s的超信道。另外一份工作表报告了拉曼OTDR测量数据。工作表显示，在实线屏蔽列的左侧——为无光功率控制（OPC）的性能，而在右侧——为带有OPC的性能。所呈现的结果（从上至下）包括：用于优化发射功率的估算传输距离的功率扫描，以传输距离为函数的中央超信道的测量，以及在所有超信道均运行在前向纠错（FEC）阈值以下的最大传输距离处对每个超信道的性能进行的测量。此外，还报告了两个传输距离处的典型光学光谱。请注意，对于给定的工作表，带有OPC的结果当然与无OPC的结果存在频率偏移。
