Abstract: By using dispersion-free single-mode fibres at 1.5 μm, where silica fibres have minimum loss, an optical transmission experiment was successfully carried out at 800 Mbit/s with 20 km repeater spacing. Error rate against receiving optical level characteristics showed that the optical power penalty caused by fibre dispersion is negligible after long line transmission at 1.5 μm.
