B. Clesca et al., EXPERIMENTAL DEMONSTRATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF 40GBIT S TRANSMISSION THROUGH 440-KM STANDARD FIBER/, Electronics Letters, 30(10), 1994, pp. 802-803
The feasibility of 40 Gbit/s aggregate bit rate transmission through 4
40km standard fibre is experimentally demonstrated using a 25nm-wide 1
6 wavelength multiplex and fluoride-based fibre amplifiers. This resul
t corresponds to a potential bit rate-distance product of 17.6 Tbit/s.
