Fabian Steiner, Georg Böcherer, and Patrick Schulte have won the 2019 IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology (JLT) Paper Award for their publication "Rate adaptation and reach increase by probabilistically shaped 64-QAM: an experimental demonstration" that appeared in April 2016. The paper proposes a transmission system with adjustable data rate for optical fiber that enables high-speed communication close to the Shannon limit. The system is based on Georg, Patrick, and Fabian's probabilistic… [read more]
