Abstract

Summary form only given. The majority of the existing optical fiber network consists of standard single mode fibers with their large chromatic dispersion at 1.55 μm. If no dispersion compensation is introduced, the chromatic dispersion yields a limit in the transmission distance of 60 km (4 km) for a TDM 10 Gbit/s (40 Gbit/s) link. In order to overcome these limits, several methods are discussed: NRZ transmission with soliton support; dispersion supported transmission; mid-span spectral inversion; and dispersion compensation with dispersion compensating fibers. With respect to the last point several compensation schemes are considered such as pre- or post-compensation or symmetrical compensation schemes
