Abstract

Single-channel transmission at 320 Gb/s is demonstrated over record length of 200 km of nonzero-dispersion fiber. Typical terrestrial amplifier spacing of 100 km is achieved by using pseudolinear transmission and distributed Raman amplification. Stable semiconductor electroabsorption modulators are used in the transmitter, demultiplexer, and clock recovery, and uncorrelated multiplexing is employed in the OTDM transmitter.
