The wavelength range of 1000-1260 nm, known as T-band, where T denotes "thousand", is one of the promising wavebands suitable for the future moderate-range optical networks. We have developed T-band specific semiconductor devices based on quantum-dot technology. However, the cutoff wavelength of optical fiber cables currently utilized in access networks, i.e., G.652 fibers, is specified to be less than 1260 nm. Therefore, the fibers do not fully support the T-band. This letter presents a demonstration of the feasibility of 10-Gbit/s transmission over G.652 fibers in the T-band by experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
