389.3-Tb/s 1017-km C-band Transmission over Field-Installed 12-Coupled-Core Fiber Cable with >12-Tb/s Spatial MIMO Channels
We demonstrate 4.65-THz WDM/SDM transmission of 140-Gbaud PS-QAM signals over field-installed 12-coupled-core fiber cable with standard cladding diameter, achieving a record 0.455 Pb/s coupled-core capacity in a field environment. We also demonstrate 0.389 Pb/s over-1000-km transmission of spatial MIMO channels with >12 Tb/s/wavelength net bitrate.
