Abstract
WDM transmission and demultiplexing of four directly-modulated DFB las ers at 2.5 Gbit s(-1), with very narrow channel spacing (50 GHz) over 3000 km of dispersion-shifted fibre has been performed with a single-s pan recirculating loop test-bed. A high-performance free-space concave grating demultiplexer is used for the first time in a dense WDM trans mission experiment.
