C. Peucheret et al., L-band transmission over 1000km using standard and dispersion-compensatingfibres in pre-compensation scheme optimised at 1550nm, ELECTR LETT, 35(20), 1999, pp. 1759-1761
Transmission over 1000km of a 10Gbit/s signal at 1597nm is demonstrated in
a recirculating loop using standard fibre and wideband dispersion-compensat
ing fibre in the pre-compensation configuration. It is shown that dispersio
n maps optimised for 1550nm can be successfully used in the L-band, removin
g the need for separate band dispersion compensation.
