Abstract
By placing the dispersion compensating fibre (DCF) first within each a mplified span of a 10Gbit/s standard fibre (SMF) dispersion-managed li nk the authors show, by numerical simulation, that the performance of such systems in terms of the Q factor is greater compared to systems p ositioning the DCF last. Examining their performance over 2000 km of s tandard fibre, it was found that the optimum channel power can be incr eased by 6dB by having the DCF first.
