Abstract :
A sensitivity of -54.9 dBm or 180 photons/bit was achieved in a direct-detection optical system operating at 140 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1554 nm after transmission through 305 km of standard single-mode fibre. The result was obtained using novel linecoding and commercially available components.
