Abstract :
Transmission of 40 × 42.7 Gbit/s WDM channels is demonstrated over 2400 km of fibre with 100 km amplifier spacing and 100 GHz channel spacing. Dispersion-managed fibre spans, carrier-suppressed return-to-zero modulation format and hybrid Raman/erbium-doped fibre inline amplifiers were employed to achieve a record 40 Gbit/s, WDM transmission distance with 100 km terrestrial span lengths
