112-Tb/s (7x160x107Gb/s) Space-Division-Multiplexed DWDM Transmission over a 76.8-km Multicore Fiber
01 January 2011
A record capacity of 112 Tb/s with 14-b/s/Hz aggregate spectral-efficiency is transmitted over a 76.8-km seven-core-fiber using space-division-multiplexing. Each core carries 160 107-Gb/s PDM-QPSK channels on a 50-GHz grid in the C and L bands. OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical Communication; (060.2330) Fiber Optics Communications
