Abstract :
A method for realising the optical polarisation-mode compensation of a differential group delay of 2.4 bit durations is demonstrated for the first time, using a distributed fibre optic equaliser. As a result, it is believed that much of the existing fibre network can be upgraded even to 40 Gbit/s and RZ signal format
