Additionally, we introduce a separate PolMux 50 Gb/s link that presents an optical power budget of 38.7 dB. Both links have been achieved using a simplified polarization-demultiplexing heterodyne coherent receiver. The robustness of the system is experimentally evaluated by analyzing its response to various input states of polarization. The transmission has been accomplished using 10 GHz electrical bandwidth devices at both the transmission and receiving ends, thereby paving the way for low-cost 100G links suitable for applications such as PONs. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/T20-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-114916RB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/PDC2023-145803-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 4.3 2024 OPTICS 27 / 125 = 0.216 2024 Q1 T1 COMPUTER SCIENCE, HARDWARE & ARCHITECTURE 12 / 60 = 0.2 2024 Q1 T1 TELECOMMUNICATIONS 41 / 120 = 0.342 2024 Q2 T2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS 65 / 258 = 0.252 2024 Q2 T1 0.858 2024 Computer Networks and Communications 2024 Q2 8.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Barrio, Miguel Sevillano, Pascual Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4094-3826 Altabas, Jose A.
