112-Tb/s (7×160×107Gb/s) space-division multiplexed DWDM transmission over a 76.8-km multicore fiber

A record capacity of 112 Tb/s with 14-b/s/Hz aggregate spectral efficiency is transmitted over a 76.8-km seven-core-fiber using space-division multiplexing. Each core carries 160 107-Gb/s PDM-QPSK channels on a 50-GHz grid in the C and L bands.
