Abstract
Terahertz band has become a promising research field due to its advantages such as high frequency and large available bandwidth. In this paper, we realized the transmission of the 325 GHz 30 Gbaud terahertz quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signal with a bit error ratio (BER) less than the 7% hard-decision forward-error-correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10−3, and 325 GHz 16 Gbaud 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) signal with a BER less than the 20% soft-decision forward-error-correction (SD-FEC) threshold of 2.0 × 10−2 over 1 m metallic hollow core fiber. In addition, the performances of the metallic hollow core fiber transmission system under different frequencies from 300 to 380 GHz have also been measured. With the help of the Volterra nonlinearity compensation (VNC) algorithm, the highest net transmission rate can be up to 140.625 Gbit/s for 300 GHz 30 Gbaud 64QAM signal with satisfying the 28% spatially coupled low density parity check (SC-LDPC) threshold of 5.2 × 10−2. By comparing the performances of the metallic hollow core fiber transmission system and wireless transmission system, we also proved the superiority of the hollow core fiber to transmit terahertz signals. The experimental results show that compared with the commonly used free space transmission, the hollow core fiber can be a promising candidate to transmit high-frequency terahertz signals with a high speed and a low loss, and is worthy of further study in the future.
