Flexible bandwidth 448 Gb/s DMT transmission for next generation data center inter-connects

We experimentally evaluate a flexible DMT system using 4 to 8 50-GHz-grid C-band channels to transmit 448 Gb/s over up to 240 km SSMF. VSB filtering enabled by detuned lasers significantly reduces the impact of chromatic dispersion.
