Transmission over 362 km of 110 channels at 2.35 Gb/s from a spectrum-sliced femtosecond laser

We use temporal spectrum-slicing and optical time-division multiplexing to obtain 110 wavelength channels at 2.35 Gb/s from a single femtosecond fiber laser. We show that the output of this transmitter can be propagated over 362 km of standard single mode fiber using periodic amplification and dispe...

Zusammenfassung:We use temporal spectrum-slicing and optical time-division multiplexing to obtain 110 wavelength channels at 2.35 Gb/s from a single femtosecond fiber laser. We show that the output of this transmitter can be propagated over 362 km of standard single mode fiber using periodic amplification and dispersion compensation. Most transmitted channels have Q factors larger than 18.34 dB corresponding to error floors below 10/sup -16/.
