Cost-optimized 6.3 Tbit/s-capacity terrestrial link over 17 × 100 km using phase-shaped binary transmission in a conventional all-EDFA SMF-based system
23 March 2003
We demonstrate the feasibility of 6.3 Tbit/s capacity over 17 × 100 km using well-proven all-erbium-doped fiber amplifier technology over a typical ultra-long haul link based on standard fiber. This experiment emphasizes the advantages of our modulation format, namely phase-shaped binary transmission.
