Transmission of 125 WDM channels at 42.7 Gbit/s (5 Tbit/s capacity) over 12/spl times/100 km of TeraLight/spl trade/ Ultra fibre

The transmission of 125 ETDM channels at 42.7Gbit/s (5 Tbit/s capacity) is demonstrated over 12/spl times/100 km of the new TeraLight/spl trade/ Ultra fibre. The result is obtained with VSB-like filtering at the receiver end and Raman-assisted erbium amplification over C and L bands.
