Abstract :
We report experimental and numerical results on transmission of short pulses in systems with midspan spectral inversion and standard fibre. It is shown that a larger amount of nonlinearities can be tolerated if the spectral inversion is moved away from the midpoint of the span. Full recovery of the initial pulsewidth is experimentally demonstrated in the presence of nonlinearities
