  • Abstract
    NTT researchers in Japan have demonstrated 25 Gbit/s transmission over 40 km without the need for power-hungry optical preamplifiers. The team designed an avalanche photodiode receiver optical subassembly module (APD-ROSA) that allowed them to smash the previous best transmission performances of 10 Gbit/s using APDs.
