Using single-stage C-band EDFAs equalized to 41 nm, we transmit 152 x 200 Gb/s PDM 16QAM channels with 6.0 b/s/Hz spectral efficiency over 9,748 km enabled by Nyquist spectral shaping and digital back propagation. 76 x 400 Gb/s channels are also transmitted over 8,665 km detecting two 200 Gb/s channels simultaneously using a single wideband receiver. Digital back propagation benefit versus channel pre-emphasis, transmission distance and wavelength are experimentally investigated.
