Abstract

The authors investigate for the first time how polarization mode dispersion and nonlinear interactions affect dense wavelength division multiplexing dispersion management-soliton long-haul transmission using Monte Carlo simulations. They also discuss how the system is affected by an increasing number of wavelength channels.
