Abstract
The transmission of a 4 x 10Gbit/s OTDM data sequence is demonstrated for the first time over 406km of non-dispersion shifted fibre. Four wa ve mixing in a 2mm long semiconductor optical amplifier was used to co mpensate for dispersion via midspan spectral inversion. A record 45dB signal-to-noise ratio in a 0.1 nm bandwidth was obtained for the spect rally inverted signal.
