    Abstract

    We present the first demonstration of micro-comb based communications system in installed optical fibre. Robust soliton-crystal states enable open-loop control, and achieve 32.5 Tb/s (8.2 b/s/Hz spectral efficiency) over 72.8 km, providing a path to compact, high capacity transceivers for legacy fibre, metro-area systems.
