Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate repeaterless transmission over distances as long as 465.6 km using a directly modulated distributed feedback (DFB) laser. Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is obtained by the frequency chirping of the laser diode itself when modulated without any additional manipulation of the transmitted signal spectrum.
