Figure2: Comparison of 320 Tb/s-class optical communication systems based on the conventional and proposed schemes. The conventional system requires 200 state-of-the-art commercial transponder modules with built-in light sources, ranging from the O to U band (total 40 THz), whereas the proposed system requires only one light source.
