10 Gb/s transmission over 300 m OM3 fiber from 990-1080 nm with electronic dispersion compensation

We demonstrate numerically and experimentally the transmission of 10 Gb/s over OM3 fibers up to 300 m, under low-cost VCSEL launch conditions from 990-1080 nm with electronic dispersion compensation (EDC), showing a path to low cost 40 Gbps links.
