Abstract :
Summary form only given. Novel dispersion-managed fibers that minimize four-wave mixing (FWM) and other nonlinear effects with built-in dispersion compensation, large effective areas, and low dispersion slopes have been developed. These fibers are also expected to be flexible enough to allow upgrades in both wavelength-division multiplexing and time-division multiplexing approaches. Propagation and FWM efficiency models have been used to optimize the designs and evaluate the system advantages of these fibers.
