16 Gb/s Fiber Transmission Experiment Using Optical Time-Division Multiplexing.
01 January 1987
An experimental four-channel optical time-division multiplexed transmission system is described and the first demonstration of fiber transmission at a bit rate of 16 Gb/s is reported. In this experiment, data at 16 Gb/s has been transmitted over 8 km of fiber with a bit error rate below 10 sup (-9).
