Abstract
We demonstrate the unrepeatered transmission of over 100 Tb/s by employing a multicore-fiber-based remote optically pumped amplifier. We establish 120.7-Tb/s, 204-km seven-core fiber transmission with the aggregate spectral efficiency (SE) of 53.6 b/s/Hz, a record capacity per fiber and the highest SE for unrepeatered transmission. We also realized the highest capacity per core of 17.2 Tb/s (180 × 95.8 Gb/s) and SE of 7.6 b/s/Hz by using the polarization-division-multiplexed 32-quadrature amplitude modulation format for unrepeatered transmission.
