%T Ultra-long-haul transmission of 7x42.9Gbit/s PS-QPSK and PM-BPSK
%X We report on ultra-long haul transmission of polarization-switched QPSK (PS-QPSK) and polarization-multiplexed BPSK (PM-BPSK) at 42.9Gbit/s per WDM channel. Although achieving similar transmission distances in excess of 13,600km, PS-QPSK offers a significant reduction in receiver complexity due to a lower symbol-rate.
