Abstract :
Data transmission at 34 Mbit/s has been performed over a fluoride glass fibre at a wavelength close to the 2.55 μm minimum-loss wavelength of the fibre, using an externally modulated He-Ne laser and a graded-composition GaInAs photodiode with spectral response optimised for 2.55 μm operation.
