Field demonstration of over 1000-channel DWDM transmission with supercontinuum multi-carrier source

Abstract

Over 1000-channel DWDM transmission experiment has been achieved. A 1046 x 2.67 Gbit/s, 6.25 GHz-spaced DWDM signal is successfully transmitted over 126 km field-installed fibres in the test-bed of JGN II by employing a single supercontinuum lightwave source, which generates more than 1000 carriers and uniform precise channel spacing of 6.25 GHz.
