Abstract:
A long haul, broadband DWDM system that has been optimized by the proper selection of the distribution of total dispersion compensation. Dispersion compensation is utilized at both the receiver and the transmitter ends. Syst em performance is dependent on the ratio of compensation split between the transmitter and the receiver. A system operated in the non-linear regime can be compensated to operate with low BER and with reduced penalties due to residual dispersion effects, even when the spread of the total accumulated dispersion between the extreme channels in a broadband system exceeds 1,000 ps/nm.
