Unrepeatered Transmission over 150 km of Nonzero-Dispersion Fiber at 100 Gbit/s with Semiconductor Based Pulse Source, Demultiplexer and Clock Recovery
14 October 1999
Unrepeatered transmission over record length of 150 km of nonzero-dispersion fiber at 100 Gbit/s is reported. These results are achieved using decorrelated optical multiplexing of five 20 Gbit/s signals. The transmitter pulse source, the optical demultiplexer and the clock recovery are based on electro-absorption modulators.
