Mc. Tatham et al., TRANSMISSION OF 10GBIT S DIRECTLY MODULATED DFB SIGNALS OVER 200 KM STANDARD FIBER USING MID-SPAN SPECTRAL INVERSION/, Electronics Letters, 30(16), 1994, pp. 1335-1336
Dispersion compensation by mid-span spectral inversion has been used t
o achieve the transmission of 10Gbit/s signals from a directly modulat
ed DFB over 200 km dispersive fibre. The spectral inversion is provide
d by nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifi
er.
