In this paper, we introduce the probabilistic shaping (PS) technique to the normal (3, 1) vector signal and simulate the generated PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal on an optical transmission system. The PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal is generated by a radio frequency (RF) signal at 12 GHz driving a Mach–Zehnder modulator- (MZM-) based optical carrier suppression (OCS) doubling, and the PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal is not precoding. The PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal and the normal (3, 1) photonic vector signal are used to transmit in 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km single-mode fibers (SMF), respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that the bit error ratio (BER) of the PS (3, 1) vector signal is less than the forward error correction (FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10−3, and the BER performance is better than that of the normal (3, 1) vector signal at 4 Gbit/s and 8 Gbit/s transmission rates.
