Experimental demonstration of record high 19.125Gb/s real-time end-to-end dual-band optical OFDM transmission over 25km SMF in a simple EML-based IMDD system
This work has been extended to achieve a 70% increase in passband spectral efficiency and an increased bit rate to 25.25 Gb/s using a tri-band technique [PTL 25 (21), 2123-2125, 2013]. The tri-band technique has also shown the potential for 30Gb/s OOFDM transceivers [ECOC 2013, P.6.7].This work realised the OCEAN project target bit rate for OOFDM transceivers of 20Gb/s on a single wavelength, exceeding the per wavelength capacity of existing PON standards. Allied to know-how in adaptive transceiver design, the multi-band technique strengthens the opportunities for commercialisation of OOFDM technology via Bangor’s SmarterLight spin-out company.
