Abstract :
Described is 40 Gbit/s transmission over 2 km at 850 nm achieved using a singlemode photonic crystal fibre (PCF) and a singlemode vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The group velocity dispersion of the PCF was -62.8 ps/nm/km, which was 35 ps/nm/km less than that of a conventional step-index fibre at 850 nm. Error-free transmission was successfully achieved.
