K. Yonenaga et al., Temperature-independent 80Gbit/s OTDM transmission experiment using zero-dispersion-flattened transmission line, ELECTR LETT, 36(4), 2000, pp. 343-345
Temperature-independent 80 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed signal
transmission using a 168km zero-dispersion-flattened transmission line has
been successfully demonstrated over a 50 degrees C temperature rang. The te
mperature-coefficient of the average dispersion of the transmission line wa
s 1.2 x 10(-5) ps/nm/km/degrees C while that of a conventional dispersion-s
hifted fibre was 2.1 x 10(-3) ps/nm/km/degrees C.
