In a single-channel high power transmission experiment, no nonlinearity penalty was observed for up to 1 W of received power, despite the very low chromatic dispersion of the fiber (<2 ps/nm/km). Our simulations show that such a low level of nonlinearity should enable transmission at 6.4 Tb/s over 1200 km of HC-ARF, even when the fiber attenuation is significantly greater than that of SMF-28. As signals propagate through hollow-core fibers at close to the speed of light in vacuum such a link would be of interest in latency-sensitive data transmission applications. date: 2018 date_type: published publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/JLT.2018.2883541 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1605652 doi: 10.1109/JLT.2018.2883541 lyricists_name: Bayvel, Polina lyricists_name: Clark, Kari lyricists_name: Elson, Daniel lyricists_name: Galdino, Lidia lyricists_name: Karanov, Boris lyricists_name: Lavery, Domanic lyricists_name: Liu, Zhixin lyricists_name: Shi, Kai lyricists_name: Thomsen, Benn lyricists_id: PBAYV08 lyricists_id: KACLA99 lyricists_id: DELSO28 lyricists_id: LGALD74 lyricists_id: BKARA95 lyricists_id: DJPLA68 lyricists_id: ZLIUB50 lyricists_id: KSHIX95 lyricists_id: BTHOM60 actors_name: Liu, Zhixin actors_id: ZLIUB50 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Lightwave Technology issn: 0733-8724 citation: Liu, Z; Karanov, B; Galdino, L; Hayes, J; Lavery, D; Clark, K; Shi, K; ...
