Abstract
Optical 10-Gbit/s return-to-zero pulse transmission in cascaded commun ication systems using dispersion compensation of the standard monomode fiber with large amplifier spacing is examined. It is shown that puls e distortions that are due to Kerr nonlinearity are significantly dimi nished by symmetrical ordering of the compensation sections when the t otal number of precompensation and postcompensation sections is equal. Repositioning of these sections is not critical. (C) 1997 Optical Soc iety of America.
