Abstract

We investigated numerically nonlinear return-to-zero-pulse transmission through periodic dispersion compensation lines and clearly demarcate the two extremely stable transmission conditions. One case uses anomalous dispersion fibers as the transmission line and the other case uses normal dispersion fibers. Linear dispersion compensation elements are used in both cases so that the average dispersions are in the slightly anomalous region. These two conditions have opposite frequency chirp, and the normal dispersion fiber case indicates better characteristics than the anomalous dispersion fiber case.
