Abstract

Summary form only given. In long-distance and high-speed wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems, fiber dispersion and nonlinearities degrade system performance and limit the distance and speed of data transmission. The most important nonlinear effects include stimulated Raman scattering, four-wave mixing (FWM) and self- and cross-phase modulation (SPM/CPM). Various dispersion-management techniques have been successfully used to simultaneously minimize dispersion and negate FWM effects.
