Adaptability-Enabled Significant Improvement in Capacity versus Reach Performance of Real-Time Dual-Band Optical OFDM Transmissions over OM1/OM2 MMF Systems

Using adaptive bit/power loading, 20.125Gb/s@100m and 19.625Gb/s@1000m (20Gb/s@100m and 19.375Gb/s@1000m) robust transmissions of real-time dual-band OOFDM signals are experimentally demonstrated in OM2(OM1) MMFs. >19Gb/s@1000m OOFDM transmissions are feasible in any legacy MMFs.
