Abstract
A reduced model to describe self-phase modulation (SPM)-limited fiber trans mission in dispersion-managed lightwave systems is presented. By introducin g a new figure of merit, the maximum transmission distance versus optical p ower can be determined without any numerical simulation. Together with simp lified models for other nonlinear fiber effects, a useful set of design rul es for a first-order performance estimation of wavelength-division multiple xed (WDM) systems is established.
