56 Gb/s OOK transmission in robust and bend-insensitive GGP 80-m ultra-large-core (ULC) MMF for lightpeak

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time a recorded 56-Gb/s transmission in a new type robust and bend-insensitive glass-glass-polymer structured 80-m ultra-large-core multimode fiber (ULCMMF) using simple and single-polarization on-off-keying for Lightpeak. The LCMMF design is presented. Experimental results show that the ULCMMF could be a good choice for consumer applications in the near future.
