Abstract
In this paper, we will demonstrate the possibility of opening a new telecommunications transmission window around the 2 μm wavelength, in order to exploit the potential low loss of hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers, with the benefits of significantly lower non-linearity and latency. We will show recent efforts developing a dense wavelength division multiplexing testbed at this waveband, with 100 GHz spacing wavelength channels and 105 Gbit/s total capacity achieved.
