N. Kikuchi et al., 10GBIT S DISPERSION-COMPENSATED TRANSMISSION OVER 2245-KM CONVENTIONAL FIBERS IN A RECIRCULATING LOOP/, Electronics Letters, 31(5), 1995, pp. 375-377
The authors demonstrate 10Gbit/s dispersion-compensated long-distance
transmission over conventional (non-dispersion-shifted) fibres in a re
circulating loop incorporating dispersion compensation fibres (DCF). W
e obtain a bit error rate below 10(-9) at 2245km and show the feasibil
ity of conventional fibre transmission over more than 2000km long by u
sing DCF with practical optical amplifier spacings of more than 80km.
