Abstract :
Non-linear effects in uncompensated links generate a noise-like additive interference: we study in detail the accumulation law vs. number of spans as a function of main system parameters (fiber types and WDM total bandwidth). In all practical cases, we analytically found a slightly super-linear accumulation confirmed by numerical simulations.
