Essentially the transceiver optics are applying the same modulation and coding that have been used in point-to-point microwave for a long time... Starting from OOK, up to BPSK and then on to QPSK, 16QAM and possibly 64QAM with varying levels of FEC. A singlemode fiber is just an extremely narrow d

The new undersea cable systems are now capable of 18 terabits per fiber pair. It is interesting how combinations of bits are being represented by combinations of optical features. http://www.lightwaveonline.com/articles/print/volume-30/issue-5/features/which-optical-modulation-scheme-best-fits-
