50 Gbit/s/λ WDM real time transmission in hollow core antiresonant fiber reaching 42.3 dB optical budget for mobile X-haul

A WDM transmission at 50 Gbit/s/λ in real-time over 6 wavelengths (one λ modulated at a time) over a hollow core anti-resonant fiber is performed. An optical budget of 42.3 dB is reached when a single wavelength is transmitted with a booster EDFA
