DWDM AND SINGLE CHANNEL FIBRE NONLINEAR THRESHOLDS FOR 43 GB/S ASK AND DPSK FORMATS OVER VARIOUS FIBRE TYPES
05 March 2006
We experimentally compared nonlinear-thresholds for single channel and DWDM (0.4 bit/s/Hz) over various fibre types. NZDSFs show generally slightly reduced NLT vs. SMF and only ASK modulated DWDM systems over true wave are penalized versus single channel transmission.
