"Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Announces Further Breakthrough in 100 Gigabit per Second Ethernet-Over-Optical", MARCH 08, 2006
　http://www.lucent.com/press/0306/060308.coi.html
　"announced the first reported optical transport of electronically multiplexed 107 Gigabit per second
　 (Gbps) data."

　"In a paper presented at OFC today Bell Labs researchers were able to transmit 10 channels of
　 107-Gbps traffic, optically modulated using electrical multiplexing, over a distance of 400 kilometers.
　 Key to this breakthrough was the use of an integrated optical equalizer, built as a single-chip
　 photonic integrated circuit."
