Mode-division-multiplexed 3x112-Gb/s DP-QPSK transmission over 80 km few-mode fiber with inline MM-EDFA and blind DSP

We show transmission of a 3x112-Gb/s DP-QPSK mode-division-multiplexed signal up to 80km, with and without multi-mode EDFA, using blind 6x6 MIMO digital signal processing. We show that the OSNR-penalty induced by mode-mixing in the multi-mode EDFA is negligible.

73.7 Tb/s (96X3x256-Gb/s) mode-division-multiplexed DP-16QAM transmission with inline MM-EDFA

We show transmission of a 73.7 Tb/s (96x3x256-Gb/s) DP-16QAM modedivision- multiplexed signal over 119km of few-mode fiber with inline multi-mode EDFA, using 6x6 MIMO digital signal processing. The total demonstrated net capacity is 57.6 Tb/s (SE 12 bits/s/Hz). © 2012 OSA.
