Cost-effective 10.7-Gbit/s Long-Haul Transmission using Fiber Bragg Gratings for In-line Dispersion Compensation

We show the feasibility of more cost-effective long-haul transmission using fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) for in-line dispersion compensation. 32xl0.7-Gbit/s NRZ modulated channels are transmitted over 40x95 km of SSMF using low group delay ripple FBGs.
