Field experiments on 40 Gbit/s repeaterless transmissionover 198 km dispersion-managed submarine cable using a monolithic mode-locked laser diode

Abstract

Field experiments on 20 and 40 Gbit/s repeaterless transmission experiments are carried out for the first time. The authors successfully demonstrate repeaterless 198 km transmission at 20 and 40 Gbit/s using an installed dispersion-managed submarine cable.
