Abstract :
10.2Tb/s capacity is demonstrated over 3×100km in C and L bands, using 42.7Gb/s channels. The wavelength allocation was chosen while taking into account narrow optical filtering at the transmitter and receiver ends and second-order Raman pumping is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
