First Demonstration of a Broadband 37-cell Hollow Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber and Its Application to High Capacity Mode Division Multiplexing

We report fabrication of the first low-loss, broadband 37-cell photonic bandgap fiber. Exploiting absence of surface modes and low cross-talk in the fiber we demonstrate mode division multiplexing over three modes with record transmission capacity

Low-complexity digital pre-emphasis technique for next generation optical transceiver

We experimentally verified the effectiveness of a novel digital pre-emphasis technique to compensate limited DAC bandwidth for next generation flexible systems. A gain larger than 1dB/0.1nm OSNR at the 7%-FEC limit has been experimentally verified for 8, 16 and 32QAM

High capacity mode-division multiplexed optical transmission in a Novel 37-cell hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber

We report fabrication of the first low-loss, broadband 37-cell hollow core photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF). Measurements characterizing the fiber are presented, showing absence of surface modes and low modal crosstalk. As such the fiber is exploited for wavelength-division multiplexing using the full C-band and mode-division-multiplexed transmission using higher-order modulation formats, achieving a record transmission capacity of 73.7 Tb/s using PBGFs

20 × 960-Gb/s Space-division-multiplexed 32QAM transmission over 60 km few-mode fiber

We show transmission of 20 wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) × 960-Gb/s space-division-multiplexed 32QAM modulated channels (spectral efficiency (SE) of 15 bits/s/Hz) over 60 km of few-mode fiber (FMF) with inline few-mode EDFA (FM-EDFA). Soft-decision FEC was implemented and used to achieve error-free transmission
