On the Optimum Energy-per-bit Launch Power in Coherent Hollow-core Fibre Transmission Systems
arXiv:2606.17942
Abstract
We investigate the optimum energy per bit in hollow-core-fibre transmission systems. We show that a 1000 km C-band link can achieve a 41.5% reduction in total power consumption when operating at the minimum energy-per-bit launch power with only 2.2% throughput penalty.
