Abstract

We demonstrate transmission of a record aggregate capacity of 3.28 Tb/s (82/spl times/40 Gb/s PRBS 2/sup 31/-1 NRZ) over 3/spl times/100 km of a demonstration TrueWave(R) fiber with very low dispersion slope. The system for the first time incorporate dual C- and L-band transmission and distributed Raman amplification in addition to the 40 Gb/s line rate.
