M. Zitelli et al., 40-Gbit/s transmission in dispersion-management links with step-index fiber and linear compensation, OPTICS LETT, 24(16), 1999, pp. 1169-1171
The dynamic behavior of single-channel transmission in standard fibers with
strong dispersion management and linear compensating devices was theoretic
ally and numerically analyzed. We compared a single pulse and a pseudorando
m sequence to highlight the relevant roles played by nonlinearity-induced s
pectrum distortion and pulse interaction. As a result, 40-Gbit/s transmissi
on on an 1800-km dispersion-management link with 100-km spans of standard f
iber was obtained. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
