High Bit Rate OTDM-Transmission on Standard Fibre

Summary In this paper we describe experimental and numerical studies on high bit rate, single span transmission system over a length of 160 km without amplifiers in the link (unrepeatered). From these studies we revealed that the tolerance of the residual dispersion is very restrictive. Proper dispersion management and PMD compensation techniques are important topics in these and future systems.
