Multimode transceiver for interfacing to multicoregraded-index fiber capable of carrying 120-Gb/s over 100-m lengths

Abstract

A 24-channel multimode optical transceiver is developed for interfacing four six-core strands of multicore multimode fiber.The multicore fiber transmitterdemonstrates 120-Gb/s/fiberlow-crosstalk aggregatetransmission, while the receiver hasa circuit-limited bandwidth of 15 Gb/s/channel. ©2010 IEEE.
