abstract = "The directly modulated WDM system has cost advantage over the externally modulated counterpart. Previously, a dircctly modulated 2.5 Gb/s x 8-channcl WDM system has been demonstrated over 275-km long dispersion shifted fiber fl]. However, for the use in a long-haul transmission over conventional single mode fiber (SMF), these systems would require dispersion compensation [2][3]. In this paper, we report on the dircctly modulated 2.5 Gb/s x 16-channel WDM transmission experiment over 640 km of SMF using dispersion compensating fibers (DCF). In addition, we demonstrate that the transmission capacity of this system could be increased without adjusting the outside plant simply by replacing some dircctly modulated 2.5-Gb/s channels with externally modulated 10-Gb/s channels. We measured the performance of WDM system with twelve externally modulated 10-Gb/s channels and four directly modulated 2.5-Gb/s channels.",
