Abstract :
The paper summarizes the performance issues, and technical approaches for 10 GB/s time-division-multiplexing (TDM) optical transmission systems for 40 to 160 km optical spans. It provides an overview of the performance limitation of high data rate optical transmission due to optical source imperfections (such as lasers and external modulators) and limitations due to optical fiber effects, and discusses some practical limits. Important optical fiber nonlinearities are discussed, along with the practical effect of these phenomena. Several approaches for long-haul transmission of 10 GB/s signals over dispersion-shifted (DSF) and dispersion non-shifted fiber (NSF) are presented, are described in terms of how they operate, and the reasons that they provide acceptable performance. Finally, results that have been achieved are reviewed
