Abstract

A 20-Gb/s transmission over 350-km standard single-mode fiber exploiting duobinary dispersion robustness and polarization-division multiplexing has been demonstrated. The system performance is evaluated employing an automatic endless polarization stabilizer and a suitably designed transmitter-side optical dispersion compensator.
