Abstract

Multi-Gbit/s long-span transmission systems, focusing on a repeaterless coherent transmission system, will be described. First, the limits of fiber input power limit and receiver sensitivity limit are discussed. These are the key factors for repeaterless systems. Second, the merits of coherent transmission in repeaterless systems from the viewpoint of transmission performance are summarized. Next, engineered transmission equipment designed by NTT laboratories and a field trial carried out with the equipment are introduced. Finally, the variations in the characteristics of coherent laser diodes caused by aging will be dicussed.
