Abstract

This paper reports record unrepeatered transmission results using forward and backward distributed Raman amplifications, large effective area ultra-low loss fiber and enhanced ROPAs with additional pumping fibers. Coherent 100 Gb/s with PM-QPSK modulation format and OOK 10G transmission are demonstrated over 607 km (97.2 dB) and 632 km (101.0 dB), respectively.
