Probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) is a practical means to achieve a shaping gain in
optical fiber communication. However, PAS and shaping in general also affect the signal …

For probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS), we propose a super-symbol transmission method
that improves fiber nonlinearity tolerance. A simple fiber nonlinearity low-pass filtering …

Probabilisticshaping is, nowadays, a pragmatic and popular approach to improve the
performance of coherent optical fiber communication systems. In the linear regime, the …

In order to realize probabilistically shaped signaling within the probabilistic amplitude
shaping (PAS) framework, a shaping device outputs sequences that follow a certain …

In this paper, finite state machine sources (FSMSs) are used to shape quadrature amplitude
modulation (QAM) for nonlinear transmission in optical fiber communication systems. The …

The mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) transmission technique using a few-mode fiber
