We present a feasible distance-adaptive optical transmission system that selects the optimum modulation format by referencing the estimated optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) information transmitted from an opposing transceiver via a feedback channel. A modulation format free time-domain-multiplexed pilot sequence enables OSNR estimation and feedback channel transmission. Thanks to a feedback channel transmission, this system does not need to pass through a control plane in optimizing scheme. Using this system, we demonstrated 106.6 Gb/s QPSK and 213.3 Gb/s 16 QAM distance-adaptive optical transmission in a fully automatic manner in a field-installed fiber of 70.4 to 211.2 km.
