Abstract

The feasibility of $1‐\mathrm{Tbit}/\mathrm{s}$ transoceanic systems based on in-line optical regeneration of $40‐\mathrm{Gbit}/\mathrm{s}$ channels is numerically investigated. The roles of fiber dispersion, fiber mode area, and channel and regenerator spacings are analyzed, and the corresponding operating ranges for error-free transmission are determined. The results represent a first step in designing multi-terabit-per-second global transmission systems based on realistic components and parameters.
