Abstract :
We present the design of high-throughput WDM terrestrial transmission systems. Management of dispersion, nonlinearity, and amplification is reviewed and illustrated through high spectral efficiency transmission of channels at 10 and 40 Gbit/s. Dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a powerful technique to increase the capacity of advanced optical networks, to cope with the data traffic explosion. The full use of the optical fibre bandwidth, leading to cost-effective solutions, requires technologies and system design dealing with fibre attenuation, chromatic dispersion and nonlinearities
