Generation of (3, 1) Vector Signal Based on Probabilistic Shaping Technology without Precoding by Jiangnan Xiao, Xu Dong, Bo Liu, Xingxing Feng, Chuang Zhao, Jiangli Zuo

“…The PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal and the normal (3, 1) photonic vector signal are used to transmit in 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km single-mode fibers (SMF), respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that the bit error ratio (BER) of the PS (3, 1) vector signal is less than the forward error correction (FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10−3, and the BER performance is better than that of the normal (3, 1) vector signal at 4 Gbit/s and 8 Gbit/s transmission rates.…”
