Abstract:
We demonstrate nonlinearity-free transmission of Terabit/s/(λ) PCS-64QAM signals through an HCF-based optical recirculating loop, which yields ~17.4% higher capacity than SMF-based loop under 23-dBm launch power (~13.5 dBm/channel) after 25 loops. Both lab experiment and field trial show HCF exhibits ~1.6-(μ)s/km lower latency than SMF.
