Popis: The 53.125 Gbps transmission is experimentally investigated over a next-generation wideband multimode optical fiber (NG-WBMMF) using transmitter optical sub-assemblies (TOSAs) and wideband receiver optical sub-assemblies (ROSAs) developed for 25 Gbps short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) operation. A commercial 100 Gbps four-level pulse amplitude modulation integrated circuit (PAM4 IC) evaluation kit with real-time digital signal processing (DSP) is used. Dual wavelength transmission (2 λ × 53.125 Gbps) tests over 300 m of NG-WBMMF are carried out for the wavelength pairs 850, 880 nm and 910, 940 nm with a 4 × 1 optical MUX/DeMUX in the link. Measured pre-forward error correction (FEC) bit error ratio (BER) below the KP4 FEC threshold of 2.4 × 10–4 indicates the feasibility of 100/200 Gbps transmission over NG-WBMMF using a PAM4 chipset with real-time DSP. Single wavelength transmission (1 λ × 53.125 Gbps) using long wavelength TOSAs at 976 and 1066 nm is also studied. Pre-FEC BER below 2.4 × 10–4 is achieved over 300 m at 976 nm and 200 m at 1066 nm. Single wavelength tests from 850 to 940 nm had the same results as the 976 nm wavelength. Thus, this is the first experiment which shows the potential of 400 Gbps transmission with eight SWDM wavelength windows over a single NG-WBMMF using SWDM TOSAs, ROSAs, and commercial 100 Gbps PAM4 chipset.
