Abstract :
Experiments and simulations show that the channel bandwidth of a dynamic gain-equalizer (DGE) exerts strong influence on the performance of a nonlinear ULH (ultra-long haul) system. For a 40-channel, 6000-km, 100 GHz-spaced DWDM system with 12.5 Gb/s data rate, the optimal bandwidth is near 50 GHz.
