Abstract
We find the distribution of the gain of in-line amplifiers in a transm ission system with unequal amplifier spacing that minimizes the effect s of the optical nonlinearity, The optimum map gives rise to the minim um average power for a given signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiv er, and the minimum SNR for a given average power. In the optimum map, the amplifier gains are such that the power in the middle of each pas sive fiber segment is constant along the line.
