Large Capacity Long Reach Unrepeatered Transmission Using Fiber Aeff-managed Span with Optimized Amplification Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the recent development of enabling fibre technologies for high capacity, long span, unrepeatered transmission systems, including ultra-large-area low loss fibre and high efficiency Er-doped fibre (EDF) for remote optically-pumped amplification (ROPA). We present the system design and experimental demonstration of 3.2 Tb/s (32 x 120-Gb/s) transmission over a 445-km long unrepeatered link by using an Aeffmanaged fibre span. This paper also discusses design trade-offs for performance enhancement of unrepeatered transmissions.

15 Tb/s Unrepeatered Transmission over 409.6 km using Distributed Raman Amplification and ROPA
15 Tb/s (150 x 120 Gb/s) unrepeatered transmission is achieved over 409.6 km (68.2 dB), corresponding to a record capacity-reach product of 6.14 Pb/s-km. We also demonstrate channel growth from 10 to 150 waves within 61 nm amplification bandwidth. OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications, (060.1660) Coherent communications.
متن کاملUnrepeatered 256 Gb/s PM-16QAM transmission over up to 304 km with simple system configurations.
We study unrepeatered transmission of 40x256 Gb/s systems with polarization-multiplexed 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (PM-16QAM) channels using simple coherent optical system configurations. Three systems are investigated with either a homogeneous fiber span, or simple two-segment hybrid fiber designs. Each system relies primarily on ultra-low loss, very large effective area fiber, while m...
متن کاملRelative Importance of Optical Fiber Effective Area and Attenuation in Span Length Optimization of Ultra- Long 100 Gbps Pm-qpsk Systems
We investigate the performance of very long submarine 100 Gbps PM-QPSK WDM systems as a function of the span length, attenuation and effective area (Aeff) of optical fiber. It is determined that the optimal span length is independent of fiber Aeff and is longer for fibers with ultra-low attenuation. We show that for two fibers with the same performance in a 50 km span system, the fiber with low...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystal Multi-Core Fibers for Future High-Capacity Transmission Systems
Since the internet traffic is rapidly growing, it is expected that the current transmission fibers will become inadequate in around 2015–2020 [1], [2]. Therefore, some innovations with transmission fibers for future high-capacity transmission have been strongly required. Expanding the transmission bands from the current C and/or L-Band by utilizing new transmission fibers is one interesting dir...
