  • Abstract
    Nonlinear pulse compression has been used to achieve transmission beyond the linear dispersion limit for 20 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed data. Error free system operation has been achieved over an operating wavelength range of 10 nm above the wavelength of zero dispersion, in the anomalous dispersion regime.
