Abstract :
Reports on 4 Gbit/s optical fibre transmission experiments using three packaged laser amplifiers as linear optical repeaters. With total amplifier gain 32 dBm, a directly modulated 1.518 mu m DFB laser signal was transmitted over 188 km fibres, consisting of dispersion shifted fibres and conventional fibres for dispersion compensation. The overall system penalty was only 0.9 dB.
