We transmit 32 WDM channels over 12 spatial and polarization modes of 177 km few-mode fiber at a record spectral efficiency of 32 bit/s/Hz. The transmitted signals are strongly coupled and recovered using 12×12 multiple-input multiple-output digital signal processing.
We generate a 72-GBd single-carrier 64-QAM signal using high-speed digitalto-analog converters. We obtain a record line rate of 864 Gb/s on a single wavelength and demonstrate 5-channel WDM transmission over 400 km of fiber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
