1-μm waveband and C-band, 10-Gbps error-free operation of ultra-broadband photonic transport system with holey fiber

To open up new optical frequency resources available for optical communications, the concept of all-band photonics has been proposed, which is based on the utilization of broadband of optical frequencies in the 1-μm waveband as a novel photonic band for photonic transmission. In this study, an ultra-broadband photonic transport system was developed by employing a long-distance holey-fiber transmission line to simultaneously use the 1-μm waveband and a conventional waveband such as the C-band. We successfully demonstrate the use of a photonic transport system to achieve simultaneous 10-Gbps error-free optical data transmissions in the 1-μm waveband and C-band.
