Abstract

The effectivity of the presented simulation model of an analog CATV link taking into account nonlinear effects present in an optical fibre has been confirmed through comparison with the results of the theoretical analysis. The model can be used to investigate the method of compensation utilizing prechirping in the transmitter, as well as other parasitic phenomena, as for example phase shift between modulating signals or non-flat EDFA spectral characteristic. The possibility of nonlinear compensation of a fibre working with large powers of order tens of mW, and distance exceeding 100 km was presented
