Abstract
We analyze 10-Gb/s nondispersion-managed and dispersion-managed wavele ngth-division multiplexed (WDM) systems that use pre-compensation, pos t-compensation, or dual-compensation of each channel to minimize dispe rsion and nonlinear effects. We find that dual-compensation gives the minimal penalty for each channel in dispersion-managed WDM systems, Fu rthermore, we find that the optimal amount of pre- or post-compensatio n depends upon the specific dispersion map used in the WDM system.
