A 213 Gbit/s, 9064 km transmission experiment was successfully demonstrated using periodic dispersion slope compensation. The dispersion slope compensator was realised using a pair of arrayed waveguide gratings and dispersion compensation fibres. This is the largest capacity WDM transmission experiment over 9000 km reported to date
