Problem<br />

� As demand grows current fiber optic links will<br />

need to be re-engineered to increase capacity<br />

� Increasing the capacity using the current<br />

modulation is challenging due to increased<br />

linear/ nonlinear propagation impairments<br />

� Proposed Solution: Advanced optical<br />

modulation techniques may allow:<br />

– Exploitation <strong>of</strong> the investment in legacy<br />

optical infrastructure (amplifiers and fiber)<br />

– <strong>Incremental</strong> funding <strong>of</strong> link upgrades<br />
