Frequency Comb-based Wavelength Division Multiplexing and Detection without Wavelength Demultiplexers

We demonstrate a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) concept using demultiplexer-free frequency combs at both transmitter and receiver in a 4-wavelength 200-GHz-grid WDM system with flexible symbol rates, aiming to avoid the power-hungry wavelength control on demultiplexers.
