Abstract :
The authors report on single-channel, single-polarisation, 160 Gbit/s, RZ 1.55 μm transmission over 160 km of standard fibre without inline optical amplifiers, but with passive compensation of dispersion and dispersion slope. We use an optical 160 to 10 Gbit/s demultiplexer based on a hybrid Mach-Zehnder interferometer
