Dense Interleaved Bidirectional Transmission Over 5 x 80 km of Nonzero Dispersion Shifted Fiber
01 February 2002
Interleaved bidirectional transmission with adjacent channel spacing of 25 GHz is demonstrated over nonzero dispersion shifted fiber. Error-free transmission is performed over five 80 km spans. We discuss the construction of ultradense bidirectional link with simultaneous suppression of four-wave mixing and Rayleigh induced cross talk.
