Record Capacity-Reach of C band IM/DD Optical Systems over Dispersion-Uncompensated Links

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a C band 100Gbit/s intensity modulation and direct detection entropy-loaded multi-rate Nyquist-subcarrier modulation signal over 100km dispersion-uncompensated link. A record capacity-reach of 10Tbit/s$\times$km is achieved.
