10 WDM 10 Gbit/s recirculating loop transmission experiments using dispersion slope compensator and non-soliton RZ pulse

摘要

The authors have demonstrated 10 Gbit/s based long-distance WDM transmission using a dispersion slope compensator and a non-soliton RZ pulse. A novel channel-by-channel in-line dispersion compensator was realised by using a pair of arrayed waveguide gratings and dispersion compensation fibres. As a result, 10 WDM signals were transmitted over 6000 km.
