We propose and demonstrate a simple decision-threshold tracking technique that can minimize the PMD-induced power penalties. Using this technique, we could reduce the power penalty of RZ signal to 0.2 dB even when the DGD were as large as 40 ps.
We report on the 320-Gb/s (40 Gb/s x 8 channels) WDM transmission experiment using short-period dispersionmanaged fiber. After 320-km transmission, the average Q-factor was measured to be better than 20.4 dB. In addition, we compared the performances of various types of fibers in 40-Gb/s based systems.
