32QAM WDM transmission using a quantum-dash passively mode-locked laser with resonant feedback
01 June 2017
We demonstrate coherent WDM transmission using a quantum-dash mode-locked laser diode with resonant feedback. We report a line rate of 12 Tbit/s (32QAM 60×20 GBd PDM) over 75 km SMF. The spectral efficiency is 7.5 bit/s/Hz.
