Abstract:
The probability of operating a 5 km 25 GBd DP-16-QAM terrestrial FSO link with strong emulated turbulence-induced fading below 190 Gb/s GMI-based data rate is reduced by more than one order of magnitude by supplementing optical pre-amplification with automatic-gain-controlled electrical amplification.
