Abstract :
An opto-electric implementation of an optical spectrum inverter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a 561 km transmission link. 3dB increase in span launch power was enabled by the inverter for a 112 Gbit/s DP-16QAM channel and error free operation (BER<;10-12) of 10G OOK transmission was obtained with no optical dispersion compensation.
