Abstract
We report th first demonstration of compensation of optical-fiber dispersio n using mid-span spectral inversion without frequency shift by a two-pump f our-wave-mixing configuration. We achieve 120-km penalty-free transmission at 2.5 Gb/s over standard single-mode fiber using a directly modulated dist ributed-feedback laser.
