On the Probabilistic Shaping and Geometric Shaping in Optical Communication Systems

We introduce and compare typical shaping schemes suitable for optical communications. The geometrically shaped-quadrature amplitude modulation (GS-QAM) formats are characterized by the non-equidistant spacing of constellation points, transmitted uniformly, and applied to improve system capacity. On...
