Abstract :
We demonstrate the first transatlantic distance transmission of 40-Gb/s-based dense-WDM signals with 100-GHz channel spacing. This successful transmission was achieved by suppression of fiber nonlinear effect enabled by distributed all-Raman amplification and a quadruple-hybrid span configuration.
