1.4Tb Real-Time Alien Superchannel Transport Demonstration over 410km Installed Fiber Link Using Software Reconfigurable DP-16QAM/QPSK
01 February 2015
We successfully demonstrated, for the first time, 1.4Tb/s real-time Alien Superchannel over a 410km EDFA-only field fiber link using software reconfigurable DP-16QAM/QPSK production hardware, achieving spectral efficiency up to 5.7bit/s/Hz and long term error-free performance.
