Bidirectional SMF and PF-POF transmission of 400 Gbps Nyquist shaped on DP-QPSK systems

摘要

This work experimentally shows a transmission path based on standard single-mode optical fiber and perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber with the connections between distinct optical fibers being made by fiber collimators using free-space optical transmission. The data stream consists of a bidirectional 400 Gbps optical transmission using four wavelength channels with quadrature phase-shift keying modulation format, combined with dual-polarization and Nyquist pulse-shaped. The results obtained seeks to study the use of short-distance cables in plastic optical fiber as a flexible means of interconnection, when inserted between single-mode optical fibers or as a coupling medium between devices with single-mode optical inputs/outputs located in data centers/video headends.
