C-band Net 1.8 Tb/s (240Gb/s/λ× 8λ) DWDM IM/DD Transmission over 1.4km AR-HCF with Linear FFE Only

Record net 1.8Tb/s IM/DD optical interconnect supported by 8λ dense wavelength division multiplexing technique in C-band over wide-band low dispersion anti-resonant hollow-core fibre (AR-HCF) is experimentally demonstrated under 6.7% HD-FEC limit with linear FFE only.
