Abstract :
50 GHz spaced 40 Gbit/s×25 WDM transmission over 480 km has been successfully demonstrated using bandlimited RZ signals and an SMF-based dispersion-flattened transmission line. What the authors believe is the longest distance transmission for a spectral efficiency of 0.8 bit/s/Hz was achieved without using polarisation demultiplexing
