“…Analysis and experiments have shown that these effects are at least 3 dB weaker than comparable OOK transmission due to the lower peak power, the phase modulation, and pulse-sequence correlations [20,22,34]. In summary, numerous experiments [2,6,15,28,39] have demonstrated the value of leveraging the Raman and DPSK technologies to achieve significant capacity and reach improvements compared with non-Raman and OOK solutions. represents the required OSNR to achieve 10 Ϫ3 BER.…”
