Abstract :
This paper presents a numerical study of the transmission of a 160-Gb/s return-to-zero pulse train in a fiber link, in which both the dispersion and the dispersion-slope are periodically compensated. Two types of slope-compensation are considered: one is lumped compensation at each repeater, and the other is distributed compensation that uses a slope-reversed negative dispersion fiber. It is predicted that distributed slope compensation will provide better performance than lumped slope compensation at each amplifying repeater. This tendency will hold irrespective of the strength of dispersion-management, though the strong dispersion-management will shorten the available transmission distance.
