Design considerations for terrestrial ultra-high-bitrate long-haul transmission systems (Proceedings Paper)

Current WDM Systems in optical networks are commonly operated at 2.5 and 10 Gbit/s per wavelength. First transmission systems, offering the possibility of using 40 Gbit/s/λ transponders, are now commercially available. Transaction of various field trials over the last years indicates remarkable interest for this systems among the network operators. Potential further stages of systems at higher channel data rates e.g. 80, 100 or 160 Gbit/s/λ thus attracted more and more attention in the R&D communi
