Abstract :
We report experimental results on simultaneous transmission and dispersion compensation of eight wavelengths at 200 GHz channel spacing over 328 km of standard NDSF at 40 Gb/s, using GaAs HBT multiplexer and negative slope dispersion compensators. Individual channel Q values between 7.6 to 8.8 were achieved.
