Abstract
A closed-form theory is presented to characterize the noise accumulati on in a transmission system with grating dispersion compensation, and its implications for the system performance are discussed. It is shown that the spectral distribution of the noise depends on the mapping us ed to compensate for the dispersion. Optimum system performance is obt ained for compensation maps that are symmetric with respect to the mid dle point of each compensated span.
