63.2Tb/s Real-time Transmission Through Discrete Extended C- and L-Band Amplification in a 440km SMF Link

We demonstrate a 63.2-Tb/s throughput in a 5-span 440-km SSMF link employing real-time 400G 16QAM transponders and fully discrete C- and L-band amplifiers with a total amplification bandwidth approaching 100nm.
