Abstract :
Summary form only given. The rapid increase in bandwidth demand is driving systems toward utilizing more of the roughly 50 THz optical bandwidth available in a fiber. This paper explores fiber issues and system opportunities for using wavelengths outside the traditional 1310 and 1550 nm windows, including the L-band the S-band, and, with new zero-OH fibers, the 1400 nm region.
