Rw. Tkach et al., TRANSMISSION OF 8 20-GB S CHANNELS OVER 232 KM OF CONVENTIONAL SINGLE-MODE FIBER/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 7(11), 1995, pp. 1369-1371
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.
