800Gbit/s (80 x 10.66Gbit/s) transmission over 3200km of non-zero dispersion shifted fibre with 100 km amplified spans employing distributed Raman amplification
26 October 2000
80 x 10.66Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexing transmission over 3200km fibre with 100km amplifier spacing and 50GHz channel spacing is demonstrated. Error-free transmission of all 80 channels is achieved by employing distributed Raman amplification, forward error correction and low dispersion slope TrueWave(R) fibre.
