Abstract
Several terabit/s per fiber are now regularly demonstrated [1] and will be commercially available soon. These high bit rates are achieved with wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) systems. The channels are located in both C-band (from λ = 1529nm to λ = 1561 nm) and L-band (λ = 1570nm to λ = 1603nm) windows. To increase the spans between amplifiers, it is still necessary to increase the power per-channel, which may result in high total amplifier output powers.
