Abstract
Stable 40 Gbit/s WDM transmission against increasing number of wavelengths over 1000 km was achieved by ultra-large-core pure-silica-core fibre (PSCF) with 195 μm2 effective core area and alternate-chirped return-to-zero (AC-RZ) signal format. Such stability is indispensable for the flexibility of transmission systems. SPM/GVD degradation due to larger local dispersion of PSCF was successfully suppressed using AC-RZ signal format.
