Abstract
Nonlinear fibre effects such as self- and cross-phase modulation combined with the group velocity dispersion result in intensity distortion of the propagating signals in WDM links, limiting the maximum transmission distance. The transmission distances can be increased by optimising the dispersion map to reduce the impact of nonlinearities. In this paper, we report the results of recirculating fibre loop experiments and computer simulations investigating the use of undercompensation to minimise the nonlinear distortion in multi-span compensated standard-fibre links.
