83.33 Tb/s Coherent PDM-8PSK SDM-TDM Spatial Super-channel and High-speed Core-joint Switching System

We experimentally demonstrate a record 83.33 Tb/s switching capacity on a time-division spatial super-channel 2×2 switching node making use of core-joint, ns switching-speed and transparent electro-absorption optical switches.
