Abstract

We have demonstrated a successful, error-free 1-Tb/s transmission experiment over 342 km of TrueWave(R) fiber using 40 Gb/s OTDM (optical time-division multiplexing) transmitter and 3R receiver. Fiber chromatic dispersion was effectively compensated for using negative-slope dispersion compensating fiber.
