Abstract
The authors report results on simultaneous transmission and dispersion comp ensation of four wavelengths (200GHz spacing) over 520km of NDSF at 40Gbit/ s, and 120km span lengths. with Raman pre-amplification to extend the last span to 160km. Individual channel Q values between 7 and 8 were achieved wi th 2(31)-1 PRBS pattern length.
