The world’s first 55-mode transmission at a record data-rate of 1.53 petabits per second in any standard cladding diameter optical fiber was demonstrated. This novel 55-mode fiber enables ultra-high spectral efficiency with high-data-rate achieved using only the most common optical communications (C-) band. This demonstration shows the potential of multi-mode transmission for future high-capacity backbone networks
