Abstract

Transmission of 86 dense wavelength division multiplexed channels on a 50-GHz grid, carrying 112-Gb/s radio-frequency-assisted dual-channel dual-polarization 16-QAM (8.6-Tb/s), was successfully demonstrated in a straight-line transmission link. Required bit-error rate before forward error correction was obtained after 1200 km of ultralow-loss G.652 fiber (0.17-dB/km attenuation) and after 881 km of conventional G.652 fiber (0.21-dB/km attenuation).
