Title :
Dispersion management in WDM coherent PDM-QPSK systems

Bell Labs., Alcatel-Lucent, Holmdel, NJ, USA
Abstract :
We show that dispersion management with DCF does not outperform electronic dispersion compensation for WDM coherent NRZ-PDM-QPSK systems, but for time-interleaved RZ-PDM-QPSK systems, dispersion management provides higher nonlinear tolerance than electronic dispersion compensation alone.
