Abstract :
NRZ- and RZ-modulation formats are compared with respect to throughput limitations for OBS (optical burst switching) nodes by using different SOA (semiconductor optical amplifier) types. The impact of SOA chirp on the dispersion compensation characteristic of the fiber link is also included.
