Abstract

In this work we carry out a comprehensive experimental study on hybrid optical amplification topologies (based on first order Raman and Erbium doped fiber amplifiers) for repeaterless transmission of 112 Gb/s dual polarization-quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) enabling a 4.48 Tb/s (40 × 112 Gb/s) transmission over 302 km of standard single mode fiber with coherent detection. Hybrid optical amplification was employed for signal boosting and pre-amplification and repeaterless transmission is assured without the use of neither in-line amplification nor remote optical amplifiers. The goal was to achieve the highest bandwidth-distance product for repeaterless DWDM transmission systems over legacy fiber without any in-line amplification technology. The achieved result is a significant milestone, when compared to recent state-of-the-art investigations.
