Title :
Tutorial on High-Capacity Optical Transmission System Design
Author_Institution :
MCI WorldCom
Abstract :
Summary form only given. The tutorial will focus on design rules for high-speed optical transmission systems. An overview of technologies used today to overcome system impairments such as nonuniform amplifier gain and chromatic dispersion will be presented. Also being presented is a review of some of the future technologies required to overcome today¿s technical hurdles and allow for further advancement in transmission capacity. In addition, there will be a discussion of design tools that the future system designer will need.
