Long-Haul DWDM/SCM Transmission of 64-QAM Using Electroabsorption Modulated Laser Transmitters

We report 8-wavelength hybrid DWDM/SCM transmission over 800 km (10 spans) of standard single-mode fiber, with 1.04-Gbps payload on each wavelength in 35 6-MHz 64-QAM channels, using electroabsorption modulated laser transmitters.
