Abstract

Summary form only given. In recent years, much attention has been given to wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems due to their ability to maximize lightwave communications. In practice, the combined effects of linear dispersion and nonlinear self phase modulation impose severe limitations on the long-haul performance of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) systems. The aim of this presentation is to provide an analytic description of the nonlinear pulse evolution in a NRZ communications system under a dispersion-management scheme.
