Abstract :
We demonstrate the first S-band long-haul WDM transmission using a cascade of dispersion compensating lumped Raman amplifiers. Twenty NRZ channels, spanning the entire S-band, were transmitted over 10 spans of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) (867 km) at 10.67 Gb/s, each achieving BER<10/sup -12/ without FEC.
