81 Gb/s WDM transmission at 2μm over 1.15 km of low-loss hollow core photonic bandgap fiber

Abstract

This paper presents WDM transmission at 2μm over 1.15km of HC-PBGF with wavelength channels selected to span a 36.3nm waveband. A total capacity of 81Gbit/s was achieved using 4×12.5Gbit/s NRZ-OOK external modulation and 4×7.7Gbit/s 4-ASK Fast-OFDM direct modulation signals.
