Abstract

Computer simulations are used to analyze the evolution of chirped return-to-zero pulses in long-haul dispersion managed 10 Gb/s systems. We demonstrate that pulses in the channels that are offset from system´s zero dispersion suffer significant spreading over several bit periods. In the presence of nonlinearity this effect sets the usable bandwidth of the system.
