First 100-nm Continuous-Band WDM Transmission System with 115Tb/s Transport over 100km Using Novel Ultra-Wideband Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Abstract

We demonstrate the first 115Tb/s lumped amplified transmission system based on novel ultrawideband semiconductor optical amplifiers. We show the successful transmission of 250 channels carrying >400Gb/s each over a 100-km transmission link.
