Celebrating the 20^ th anniversary of Optics Express, this paper reviews the evolution of
optical fiber communication systems, and through a look at the previous 20 years attempts to …

The ever-increasing data rate demand for wireless systems is pushing the physical limits of
standalone radio-frequency communications, thus fostering the blooming of novel high …

We review probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS), which has been a key enabler for
several recent record-setting optical fiber communications experiments. PCS provides both …

The maximum data throughput in a single mode optical fibre is a function of both the signal
bandwidth and the wavelength-dependent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we …

This paper presents design methods for highly efficient optimisation of geometrically shaped
constellations to maximise data throughput in optical communications. It describes methods …

End-to-end learning has become a popular method to optimize a constellation shape of a
communication system. When the channel model is differentiable, end-to-end learning can …

Shaping modulation formats in multi-dimensional (MD) space is an effective approach to
harvest spectral efficiency gains in both the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel …

The continuous growth of Internet data traffic is progressively increasing the pressure over
wireless access technologies. To overcome the imminent bandwidth bottleneck, free-space …

Infrared free-space optics (FSO) provide an attractive solution for ultra-high-capacity
wireless communications. However, the full potential of FSO is still being hindered by the …

Recently, end-to-end deep learning (E2EDL) has been proposed for communication
systems to improve the overall performance of systems. In the domain of optical fiber …
