M. Schurch et al., TRANSMISSION QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF 1550NM STANDARD SOLITON WDM SYSTEM BY PROPER DISPERSION AND POWER MANAGEMENT, Electronics Letters, 34(4), 1998, pp. 391-392
A numerical analysis of a dispersion-managed 1550 nm soliton WDM syste
m using standard singlemode transmission fibres is presented. Detailed
investigations of a 200 km long system show that high capacity (> 30
Gbit/s) WDM transmission call only be realised by choosing a small ave
rage dispersion. The authors further demonstrate that in this case, 'e
rror free' transmission of 30 WDM channels over 1200 km of standard fi
bre at a total bit rate of 450 Gbit/s is feasible.
