Experimental demonstration of 10 Gbit/s, 4.7ps pulse transmission over 4300km in a low dispersion, loss compensating dispersion decreasing fibre

摘要

We describe recent results on the fabrication of low dispersion, loss compensating dispersion decreasing fibres and report their use in long distance, ultrashort pulse transmission experiments. Error-free propagation of 10 GBit/s, 4.7ps pulses over 4300km of such fibre is demonstrated illustrating the benefits of the reduced dispersion range achieved
