We demonstrate experimentally the transmission of single carrier 56 Gbaud 16-QAM, 8-QAM and QPSK optically modulated signals over 320, 960 and 2,880 km, respectively, using a fully packaged InP IQ modulator and a Stokes vector direct detection (SV-DD) receiver realized using discrete optics. Results show that by optimizing the carrier-to-signal-power ratio, the total throughput-times-distance product for 16 QAM and QPSK are 71,680 Gbps.km and 322,560 Gbps.km, respectively, at bit error rate (BER) below the hard decision forward error correcting threshold (HD-FEC) of 4.5 × 10 -3 .
