Abstract:
The effects of the compensation ratio with dispersion post-compensation on nonlinear single channel and WDM systems with 10 Gb/s per channel are numerically investigated. When the transmission signal per channel is 10 Gb/s RZ pulse and the amplifier span is 50 km, proper undercompensation can enhance the performance of the nonlinear single channel system and the nonlinear WDM system. But the enhanced distance of the nonlinear WDM system is not as obvious as that of the single channel system, because the cross-phase-modulation effect plays an important role in the nonlinear WDM system.
