Abstract

We demonstrate next-generation network upgrade scenarios using flexi-format (PM-QPSK→PM-64QAM) and flexi-rate (100G→300G) transmission over field-deployed fiber (762km). The back-to-back penalties are limited to ∼2.6dB, whereas after transmission, available margin in excess of ∼7.6dB is reported.
