1.6-Tb/s (40/spl times/40 Gb/s) transmission over 44,...,94 km of SSMF with adaptive chromatic dispersion compensation

Full-band 1.6-Tb/s adaptive chromatic dispersion compensation is demonstrated for the first time. A multichannel tunable dispersion compensator is automatically controlled by arrival time detection on one out of 40 wavelength-division-multiplexed transmitted channels.
