Abstract
In recent experiments, using dispersion management and other enabling technologies (such as large mode fibers and gain-equalized erbium-doped fiber amplifiers), chirped return-to-zero (CRZ) pulses have been transmitted error-free at record rates of 320 Gb/s (64 channels × 5 Gb/s per channel) over 7,200 km and 160 Gb/s (32 × 5 Gb/s) over 9,300 km.1,2
