A fibre has a total rms pulse broadening of 5 ns. The laser and photodetector connected to either end of the fibre have bandwidths of 100 MHz and 1 GHz respectively. What is the maximum recommended digital transmission rate for a non-return to zero data source connected to this optical fibre system?
