We experimentally demonstrate 100Gbps PAM-4 transmission over 105m wideband MMF fiber at two separate wavelengths. The 107Gbps line rates allow a combined 200Gbps user rate with FEC. The link includes unpackaged 850nm and 940nm VCSELs designed for 25G operation and offline equalization and decoding.
