50 ch × 250 Gbit/s 32-QAM transmission over a fully integrated 7-core multicore link

A transmitted distance of 180 km over an integrated multicore link is demonstrated for a C-band 32-QAM WDM system, where the complete usable amplification region of the integrated 7-core amplifiers, supporting 50 channels per core, is exploited.
