L. Boivin et al., Transmission over 362 km of 110 channels at 2.35 Gb/s from a spectrum-sliced femtosecond laser, IEEE PHOTON, 11(10), 1999, pp. 1319-1321
We use temporal spectrum-slicing and optical time-division multiplexing to
obtain 110 wavelength channels at 2.35 Gb/s from a single femtosecond fiber
laser. We show that the output of this transmitter can be propagated over
362 km of standard single mode fiber using periodic amplification and dispe
rsion compensation. Most transmitted channels have Q factors larger than 18
.34 dB corresponding to error doors below 10(-16).
