H. Taga et al., WAVELENGTH-DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNOLOGY FOR UNDERSEA SYSTEM APPLICATIONS, IEICE transactions on electronics, E81C(8), 1998, pp. 1276-1284
This paper describes the wavelength division multiplexing technology f
or the long-haul optical communication system, especially for the unde
rsea cable system. At first, the present WDM technology for the unders
ea cable system is reviewed briefly. After that, some experiments usin
g compensation of the dispersion slope of the transmission fiber are d
iscussed as future technical options of undersea systems with over 100
Gbit/s capacity.
