A. Berntson et al., SELF-PHASE MODULATION IN DISPERSION COMPENSATED OPTICAL-FIBER TRANSMISSION-SYSTEMS, Optics communications, 130(1-3), 1996, pp. 153-162
An analysis is made of the influence of self-phase modulation on optic
al fibre communication systems where the chromatic dispersion is compe
nsated for by a dispersion compensation fibre. In particular we derive
a simple and useful expression for the optimal fibre length in the pr
esence of nonlinearities.
