25 Gb/s transmission over 820 m of MMF using a multimode launch from an integrated silicon photonics transceiver.

A new high bandwidth bend-insensitive MMF optimized for 1310 nm is designed and characterized. 25 Gb/s transmission over a record 820 m length using a multimode launch from an integrated SiPh transceiver at 1310 nm through the new fiber is demonstrated with a power penalty of 3.4 dB at 10(-12) BER. Detailed characteristics of the fiber and transceiver are presented along with BER measurements.

300m transmission over multimode fiber at 25Gb/s using a multimode launch at 1310nm.

We demonstrate the transmission of 25Gb/s multimode optical signals over a record length of 300m multimode fiber designed for high modal bandwidth at 1310nm. The power penalty is 1.8 dB at 10(-12) bit error rate level.
