Spectrally Efficient DMT Transmission over 40 km SMF Using an Electrically Packaged Silicon Photonic Intensity Modulator

We demonstrate a record-high spectral efficiency (5b/s/Hz) DMT transmission by using a fully electrically-packaged silicon photonic intensity modulator. We transmit over a 40-km single mode fibre link at a rate of 49.6 Gb/s without the need for any dispersion compensation.
