1.4 Tbit/s (200 Gbit/s × 7 ch) 50 km optical transmission experiment

Abstract
A 1.4 Tbit/s (200 Gbit/s OTDM × 7 channel WDM) signal is successfully transmitted in a 50 km dispersion shifted fibre. A supercontinuum pulse source and arrayed waveguide grating are used to generate WDM channels with 600 GHz spacing, and high-speed TDM techniques are used to multiplex/demultiplex a 200 Gbit/s signal.
