Abstract

An unrepeatered 89 km 1310 mn 10 Gbit/s transmission experiment has been carried out for the first time employing an SL-MQW DFB laser diode and a high sensitivity optical front end with 1310 nm strained layer MQW optical amplifiers, enabling a total power budget of 35.8 dB. A record receiver sensitivity of -30.3 dBm at 10 Gbit/s @1310 nm has been demonstrated.<>
