Abstract
By using PDM-OFDM-16QAM modulation, all-Raman amplification, coherent detection, and 7% forward
error correction (FEC) threshold, we successfully demonstrate 63-Tb/s (368×183.3-Gb/s) signal over 160-km
standard single mode fiber (SSMF) transmission in the C- and L-bands with 25-GHz channel spacing. 368 optical
channels with bandwidth spacing of 25 GHz are generated from 16 external cavity laser sources. After 160-km
SSMF transmission, all tested bit error rate (BER) are under 3.8×10-3, which can be recovered by 7% FEC
threshold. Within each channel, we achieve the spectral efficiency of 6.85 bit/s/Hz in C/L band.
