First Demonstration of Erbium-Doped Waveguide Amplifier Enabled Multi-Tb/s (16×1.6T) Coherent Transmission
20 February 2023
We demonstrate the first EDWA-enabled Terabit-class coherent optical communication with 1.6-Tb/s net bit rate per channel and 16-channel WDM transmission over 81-km fiber, proving the potential of such on-chip amplification for future coherent applications.
