Abstract :
A 42.8 Gbit/s NRZ transmitter based on electro-absorption modulation (EAM) is demonstrated experimentally in a transmission system over 1200 km standard singlemode fibre. The combined effect of positive chirp in the EAM transmitter and the second-order dispersion compresses the pulse after transmission, which leads to better performance
