| contents | In this paper, a rate adaptive geometric constellation shaping (GCS) scheme which is fully backward-compatible with existing state of the art bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) systems is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The system relies on optimization of the positions of the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) points on the I/Q plane for maximized achievable information rate, while maintaining quantization and fiber nonlinear noise robustness. Furthermore, `dummy' bits are multiplexed with coded bits before mapping to symbols. Rate adaptivity is achieved by tuning the ratio of coded and `dummy' bits, while maintaining a fixed forward error-correction block and a fixed modulation format size. The points' positions and their labeling are optimized using automatic differentiation. The proposed GCS scheme is compared to a time-sharing hybrid (TH) QAM modulation and the now mainstream probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) scheme. The TH without shaping is outperformed for all studied data rates in a simulated linear channel by up to 0.7 dB. In a linear channel, PAS is shown to outperform the proposed GCS scheme, while similar performances are reported for PAS and the proposed GCS in a simulated nonlinear fiber channel. The GCS scheme is experimentally demonstrated in a multi-span recirculating loop coherent optical fiber transmission system with a total distance of up to 3000 km. Near-continuous zero-error flexible throughput is reported as a function of the transmission distance. Up to 1-2 spans of increased reach gains are achieved at the same net data rate w.r.t. conventional QAM. At a given distance, up to 0.79 bits/2D symbol of gain w.r.t. conventional QAM is achieved. In the experiment, similar performance to PAS is demonstrated. |
