Abstract :
We report single-channel 40-Gb/s signal transmission over nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber using an integrated electroabsorption-modulated laser in the transmitter for data modulation. Return-to-zero format pseudolinear transmission over 1200 km is achieved with a measured Q of 15.6 dB or bit-error rate of 10/sup -9/.
