Abstract Fiber-optical networks are a crucial telecommunication infrastructure in society. Wavelength division multiplexing allows for transmitting parallel data streams over the fiber bandwidth, and coherent detection enables use of sophisticated modulation formats electronic compensation signal impairments.
