1.6 Tbit/s (40/spl times/42.7 Gbit/s) transmission over 3600 km UltraWave/spl trade/ fiber with all-Raman amplified 100 km terrestrial spans using ETDM transmitter and receiver

We demonstrate error free transmission of 40/spl times/40 Gbit/s over a record distance of 36/spl times/100 km UltraWave/spl trade/ dispersion managed fiber with all-Raman amplification and 100 GHz channel spacing. CS-RZ modulation and 43 Gbit/s ETDM transmitter and receiver are used.

New Field Trial Distance Record of 3040 km on Wide Reach WDM With 10 and 40 Gb/s Transmission Including OC-768 Traffic Without Regeneration

Verizon successfully carried Juniper OC-768 traffic on its Richardson, TX, field trial network to 3040 and 2560 km, respectively, using Minteras 40-Gb/s RZ-DPSK and CS-RZ transponders over Xteras all Raman Ultra Long Haul system loaded with 68 times 10 Gb/s channels

Demonstration of 1000km 43Gb/s RZ-DPSK Transmission through a 50GHz Channel Spaced WSS

We demonstrate bandwidth-limited 1000 km transmission of 43 Gb/s RZ-DPSK signals. System bandwidth was limited via a MEMS-based wavelength-selective switch operating at 50 GHz channel spacing. The system demonstrates increased tolerance to bandwidth limitation, noise and non- linearity.
