Abstract
We demonstrate transmission of 30×382×24.5 GBaud 64-QAM signals, spanning 82 nm bandwidth, over 23 km 15-mode fiber. The resulting data rate constitutes a record for any fiber with standard cladding-diameter and was enabled by high mode-count mode-multiplexers and a transmission fiber optimized for wideband operation.
