Mintera Corporation, a start-up based in Lowell, Massachusetts, demonstrated error-free transmission of 40 data channels each operating at a bit rate of 40 Gbps over a record distance of 10,000 km of transmission fiber without electrical regeneration. Mintera said the result was achieved with optical amplifier spacing of 100 km and by using all-Raman amplification as well as enhanced error correction encoding.
