About the session

We demonstrate transmission of a 52 channel superchannel using an optimized 22.1GHz-spaced soliton microcomb. Enabling a record spectral efficiency of >10bits/s/Hz after 80km and 6.1bits/s/Hz after 3000km using a microcomb. Our results demonstrate that chip-scale combs can achieve performance directly comparable to bulk-optic frequency combs.
