Abstract
We review recent progress on high bit rate long haul optical transport systems, with spectral efficiency times transmission distance as the main figure of merit. We discuss the potential of 100-Gb/s transport systems to survive higher bit rates, through ultra-dense channel packing and multiple-optical-carrier techniques.
