Abstract :
Twenty Gbit/s transmission over 63.5 km SMF at 1310 nm is reported by using two channel 10 Gbit/s wavelength (de)multiplexing (/spl Delta//spl lambda/=1.5 nm). Two 1310 nm SL-MQW semiconductor optical amplifiers are utilized for loss compensation and sensitivity improvement. For the 1310 nm wavelength domain, a record bitrate x distance product of 1.27 Tbit/s.km has been obtained. Crosstalk penalties are identified, and the feasibility of an extension up to at least four, 10 Gbit/s channels is discussed.<>
