160 Gbit/s transmission over 116 kmfield-installed fibre using 160 Gbit/sOTDM and 40 Gbit/s ETDM

Abstract

The authors report the first 160 Gbit/s RZ transmission experiment over field-installed standard fibre G.652 with optical 160 to 40 Gbit/s demultiplexing (OTDM) and subsequent electrical signal processing (ETDM) and compare these results with 160 to 10 Gbit/s OTDM demultiplexing experiments.
