Doubly periodic dispersion maps for 10 and 40 Gbit/s ultra-long-haul transmission
30 September 2004
Optical transmission employing doubly periodic dispersion maps at 10 and 40 Gbit/s data rates is reported. The implications of these transmission results in providing added degrees of flexibility in network design, in particular, in applications such as optical add-drops and hybrid data rate systems, are discussed.
