103nm Ultra-Wideband Hybrid Raman/SOA Transmission over 3×100 km SSMF
15 January 2020
We report on the ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission of a 103 nm signal over 3×100 km of standard single mode fiber (SSMF). We characterize the nonlinear stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effects occurring in high power regime for this UWB spectrum. We study the evolution of SRS over the bandwidth when tilting the input spectrum to counter the inter-band power transition. We transmit 254 probabilistically constellation shaped (PCS)-64QAM channels over 300 km of SSMF and demonstrate a 107-Tb/s transmission throughput over a continuous 103 nm optical bandwidth using backward Raman pumping and SOA technology.
