Abstract

We present experimental and theoretical results on transmission of ten 10 GE channels over 383 km long fibre link composed of 133 km non-zero dispersion shifted (NZDSF) and 150 km plus 100 km of standard single mode fibre (SSMF) based on distributed Raman amplification in the 3 fibre spans. Susceptibility of the transmission to channel addition/removal has been investigated by replacing 8 of the 10 GE XFP transceivers with signals from ILX-7900 WDM tester that were square-wave modulated at 500 Hz with 50% duty cycle.
