Abstract
Intensive studies on ultra long-haul massive WDM systems have been reported in several papers.1–4 The channel bit-rate at 20 Gb/s is considered to be optimum for the time being in terms of its potential for lower cost, easier operation, and more reliable transmission compared with 40 Gb/s.
