Abstract :
Describes a single-channel optical transmission experiment that achieved a bit rate-distance product of 1 Tbit/s km over conventional (non-dispersion-shifted) fibre. The transmitter was a directly modulated, 1.3 mu m-wavelength, distributed feedback laser. The receiver employed a semiconductor optical preamplifier and a high-impedance pinHEMT front-end.
