Abstract
Optical frequency-division-multiplexed (OFDM) networks are very attractive because the transmission capacity can be increased to over 100 Gbit/s [1] and network-oriented functions such as route-switching can be realized [2], However, fiber nonlinearity such as four-wave mixing (FWM) restricts the capacity-distance product [3], From the view point of FWM suppression and the practical use of existing fiber, conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) with dispersion compensation is a preferable option [4]-[7]. This paper reports the results of a 16-channel × 10-Gbit/s transmission experiment over 1000 km of SMF employing dispersion-compensating fiber (DCF).
