Rapidly increasing demand for lightwave transmission capacity drives wider bandwidth use of optical fiber cables and higher line rate per channel for spectral efficiency improvement in WDM optical transmission. By employing ultra-wide bandwidth optical amplifiers and line rates of up to 80-Gb/s per channel, terabith WDM transmissions have recently been demonstrated [l-81. Previously, we reported terabith capacity transmission experiments [6,q using 40-Gb/s line rate over 85 km of TrueWave (nonzero dispersion) and standard single-mode fiber, respectively. Here, we demonstrate long-distance l-Tb/s transmission over 342 km of TrueWave fiber (TWF) with a spectral efficiency of 0.32 bit/s/Hz, us% 40Gb/s OTDM (optical timedivision multiplexing) transmitter, 3R receiver, and gain-flattened, conventional (C-band) Erdoped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). The experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1 [6]. The 25 different wavelength outputs (1536.7 to 1560.7 nm with 1-nm channel spacing) from DFB lasers were multiplexed, and simultaneouslymodulated using a dualdrive LiNbO3 modulator driven by 20-Gb/s 2=-1 nonreturn-to-zero ( U , N )pseudorandom bit stream (PRBS) data. The modulated output was then converted to an RZ (return-to-zero) pattern and optically timedivision multiplexed in order to construct 40-Gb/s NFU data. With 3-km of negative-slope dispersionampensating fiber (DCF), the 40-Gb/s OTDM transmitter output of 25 channels was decorrelated in time and predispersion compensated. After optical amplification, the transmitter output with about +5dBm power of each channel was launched into 4 spans of TWF. Al in-line EDFAs had a g a h l flatness of l-dB for wavelengths of 1532 to 1562 nm. After 4 spans of fiber, the signal was wavelengthdemultiplexed to each channel with a tunable bandpass filter, and fiber chromatic dispersion was compensated with negative-slope DCF. Each 40 Gb/s channel was then optically demultiplexed to 20-Gb/s t and received a a 20-Gb/s 3R receiver. The recovered data and clock at 20-Gb/s were electronically demultiplexedto two 1O-Gb/s signals for BER measurements. Fig. 2 shows the fiber dqersion map of 342 km of TWF followed by negative-slope DCF. The average dispersion coefficients of TWF used in this experiment were 1.95 and 3.59 ps/nm/km at 1536.7 and 1560.71~11, respectively. The DCF a the receiver exhibited a typical dispersion value of -90 ps/nmAan t at 155Onm and its slope of -0.2 ps/nm'/km. Since dispersion and slope were not compensated for at the same ratio over the transmission bandwidth of 25nm against the TWF, five Werent lengths of DCF were used to meet the dispersion tolerance of 6 0 ps/nm at 40-Gb/s transmission. The optical spectrum of at received 25 channels after 342 km is shown in Fig. 3. Optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) the receiver ranged 22 to 25dB measured at O S n m resolution bandwidth. It is noted that the transmitter output was pre* emphasized approximately by 2dB. Fig. 4 shows the eye diagrams of typid transrmtter output and receiver input after 342 lan. Fiber chromatic dispersion compensation is clearly evident, allowing successful transmission over 342 km of fiber.

BER measurement results are shown in Fig. 5, indicating no sign of error floor for any of 25 different wavelength channels. For each WDM channel, the average BER p e d o m c e of four separate measurements at lOGb/s is presented. A median receiver sensitivity of about -25.5dBm at lo BER is achieved. The 4.5dB range of receiver sensitivity is attributed it0 variations in residual dispersion and optical signal-to-noise ratio at different wavelengths.
In summary, we have demonstrated 1-Tb/s (40-Gb/s x 25ch) transmission experiment over 342 k m of TrueWave (non-zero dispersion) fiber with a spectral efficiency of 0.32 bitlsMz. The 4O-Gbls OTDM transmitter, 3R receiver, and gain-flattened, conventional EDFAs were employed. Fiber chromatic dispersion was effectively compensated for using negative-slope DCF.
