Abstract
Transmission capacity for optical underseacable systems is growing remarkably and a more than 500-fold increase has been achieved for commercial systems over the past 10 years. This paper reviews the key technologies to support next generation 160 Gbit/s undersea cable systems; 10 Gbit/s-based dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, low nonlinear fibers, and wideband amplifiers. Recent progress towards the 1 Tera-bit/s system and dispersion managed soliton transmission for future higher bit rate WDM are also discussed.
