DWDM Transmission of OTU3 (43 Gb/s) Data over 7000km of Conventional Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber
27 April 2006
We report DWDM transmission of 50 x 43 Gb/s (ITU-T G.709 OTU3 format) NRZ-DPSK channels over 7000km of conventional NZDSF, using a mixed Raman/EDFA system with 100km/22dB spans and an advanced FEC implemented in the OTU3 frame.
