Abstract :
Two channel transmission at 40 Gb/s is demonstrated over 800 km of conventional fiber, using 2.5 to 3.7 ps pulses for RZ format to minimize nonlinear effects and enable localized dispersion compensation. Channel separations as close as 1.8 nm are possible, for spectral efficiency of 18%.
