Abstract :
We report 2.5 Tb/s (64 × 42.7-Gb/s) WDM transmission over 4000 km (forty 100-km spans) of non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber. This capacity × distance record of 10 petabit-km/s for 40-Gb/s systems is achieved in a single 53-nm extended L band using return-to-zero differential-phase-shift-keyed modulation, balanced detection, and distributed Raman amplification.
