10 Gbit/s 177 km transmission over conventional singlemode fibre using a vestigial side-band modulation format
06 December 2001
The transmission of 10Gbit/s vestigial-side-band (VSB) signals over 177km of conventional singlemode fibre is demonstrated. The dispersion penalty was measured to be 3dB. The simulation analysis shows that the small dispersion penalty comes from the combination of reduced spectral width of the VSB signal and the negative dispersion of the VSB filter.
