Abstract :
Triple-wavelength-band WDM transmission over cascaded dispersion-shifted fibers (DSF´s) is demonstrated. A total of 54/spl times/10-Gb/s signals in the 1470-, 1550-, and 1590-nm bands are transmitted through 240 km (3/spl times/80 km) DSF´s. The effect of interwavelength-band nonlinear interactions expected from the stimulated-Raman-scattering-induced excess loss are shown to be negligible.
