Abstract

In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a joint shaping technique to improve the performance of a low-resolution transmission system for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The joint shaping technique combines probabilistic shaping (PS) and error feedback noise shaping (EFNS). In the 40-Gbaud intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM/DD) experimental transmission system, a bit-error-rate (BER) of 3.8×10⁻³ can be achieved easily with the joint shaping at the physical number of bits (PNOB) of 3. In the 30-Gbaud dual polarization (DP) coherent experimental transmission system, a BER below 1×10⁻³ is easily obtained with a 3-bit quantizer by using joint shaping. The optimization of the shaping degree is also analyzed.
