Abstract :
Summary form only given. Optical transmission systems with capacity exceeding 100 Gbit/s per fiber are already commercially available. The combined use of high-density wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), high per-channel bit rate and extended-bandwidth optical amplifirs is rapidly pushing the capacity of commercial systems beyond 1 Tbit/s.
