Abstract: Achievable rates of the nonlinear frequency-division multiplexing (NFDM) and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) subject to the same power and bandwidth constraints are computed as a function of transmit power in the standard single-mode fiber. NFDM achieves higher rates than WDM.<br />Comment: Invited paper to be presented at The Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exposition (OFC), March 2017
