Abstract
We demonstrate transmission of 2-ps optical pulses at 1550 nm over 40 km of standard fiber by employing midspan optical phase conjugation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's). The second order group-velo city dispersion of the fiber is completely compensated and the third-o rder dispersion becomes a major transmission limitation. This experime nt shows that the midspan optical phase conjugation system using SOA's is applicable to ultrahigh bit rates greater than 100 Gb/s.
