Abstract :
We demonstrate 32 channel WDM transmission at a per-channel rate of 10 Gb/s over 375 km (five amplified fiber spans) of conventional fiber. Chirped-fiber-grating modules provide dispersion compensation over an 18-nm bandwidth, and a swept-frequency measurement confirms continuous good performance across the entire band.
