Dispersion slope equalising experiment using planar lightwave circuit for 200 Gbit/s time-division-multiplexed transmission

Abstract
The authors report 200 Gbit/s, 100 km time-division-multiplexed transmission with 2 ps signal pulses using a dispersion slope equaliser on a planar lightwave circuit. The pulse distortion caused by the dispersion slope is almost completely recovered, and the power penalty is improved by > 4 dB by the equaliser.
