All-Semiconductor 1310-nm 90-Gbit/s WDM Transmission for LAN/MAN Applications
Overview This paper demonstrates successful multi-Gbit/s 1310-nm WDM transmissions with variable bitrates and modulation schemes using SOAs. An aggregate capacity of 90 Gbit/s is transmitted over 90-km standard fibers. An averaged 17.5dB Q-factor (BER<10-13) for all channels is achieved. Optical communication systems operating at multi-Gbit/s, such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet are becoming increasingly important in Local Area Networks (LANs) and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). For such networks of medium distances, the installed fiber-based infrastructures operated at 1310 nm offer a serious alternative for realizing low-cost and high-capacity Ethernet systems, alleviating any need for dispersion compensation. A first successful 1310-nm 4×10-Gbit/s WDM transmission over 80 km employing Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) was demonstrated.
