Abstract
We present two 8x170 Gbit/s DWDM/OTDM (1.28 Tbit/s) field transmission experiment both over more than 400 km in commercially operated legacy networks of France Telecom (FT) and Deutsche Telekom (DT), respectively. Conventional EDFA based amplification schemes as well as distributed Raman amplified systems are tested. For different levels of polarization mode dispersion due to different quality of the installed fibre infrastructure adaptive PMD compensation and polarization de-multiplexing is tested.
