Abstract :
Methods of predicting the performance of ultra-long haul optically amplified nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) systems are considered, with a brief discussion of the relative strengths of experimental and numerical modeling approaches. Results of numerical simulations are used to highlight some important issues, including the effect of chromatic dispersion and polarization-mode dispersion
