Abstract

In this contribution, we present experimental results on optical packet transmission of two 10 gigabit ethernet channels (10Ge) over 252 km link of standard single mode fibre (Ssmf, itu-t Recommendation G.652) and 287 km long link composed of 85 km ofSsmf and 202 km of non-zero dispersion-shifted (Nz DSF, itu-t Recommendation G.655) without deployment of in-line erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (Edfas). All the active components, dispersion compensating fibre (Dcf) modules and optical band-pass filters were placed at the transmitter and at the receiver side of the link. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of pure Ethernet transmission without in-lineEdfas over such a distance. The results are encouraging especially for operators of national research and educational networks who rely on leased dark fibres and prefer as long transmission as possible without deployment of in-line amplifiers.

Résumé

Nous présentons des résultats expérimentaux de la transmission de paquets optiques sur deux canaux Ethernet à 10 Gbit/s (10 GE), pour une distance de 252 km en utilisant une fibre monomode standard (RecommandationUit-t G. 652) et pour une distance de 287 km, composée de 85 km de fibre standard et 202 km de fibre à dispersion décalée (RecommandationUit-t G. 655), sans utilisation d’amplificateurs optiques en ligne. Tous les composants actifs, les modules de fibre compensatrice de dispersion et les filtres passe-bande sont placés sur le côté de l’émetteur et du récepteur. A notre connaissance, nous présentons les premiers une transmission Ethernet pure sans amplificateurs en ligne sur une distance aussi grande. Les résultats sont encourageants, particulièrement pour les opérateurs des réseaux nationaux de recherche et d’éducation qui utilisent des «fibres noires» louées et qui préfèrent une transmission aussi longue que possible sans amplificateur en ligne.
