Error free uncompensated DWDM transmission over 100 km of MetroCor fiber was demonstrated with a 16 channel DML system with 100 GHz channel spacing in the C-band. The nearly tenfold increase in the uncompensated transmission distance facilitated by the use of MetroCor fiber compared to standard single-mode fibers, using low cost 10 Gb/s directly modulated lasers, is an attractive solution for the development of cost effective metropolitan area networks. In this experiment, a total capacity of 160 Gb/s was demonstrated. Since the C and L bands can accommodate 80 channels with a 100 GHz spacing, these results indicate that a total capacity of 800 Gb/s can be achieved with 10 Gb/s DMLs in metro DWDM networks.
