Abstract
As a demonstration of the upgradeability of conventional single-mode f iber systems, we demonstrate the transmission of eight 20-Gb/s channel s over 232 km of nondispersion-shifted fiber using dispersion-compensa ting fiber with negative dispersion-slope. All channels were received without discernible transmission penalties. Due to fiber nonlinearity, differences were observed in system performance depending on the arra ngement of the fibers.
