  • Abstract
    The high sensitivity of a Ge APD optical receiver, and dispersion-free fibres at a minimum loss wavelength of 1.55 ¿m, made it possible to achieve 51.5 km optical signal transmission at 2 Gbit/s. The optical receiving level was ¿31.4 dBm at a 10¿9 error rate, and the degradation caused by fibre dispersion was only 0.6 dB. A data-rate repeater-spacing product of 103 (Gbit/s)km was achieved at 1.55 ¿m.
