Abstract

Alternate polarization modulation has been proposed for long-distance 10-Gbit/s-based wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems to suppress SPM-GVD effect. In the 6000-km transmission, the allowable accumulated dispersion, which determines the available WDM bandwidth, was increased by 40% by adopting this scheme.
