Abstract

In this paper we discuss the factors influencing fiber optimization for terrestrial long-haul and submarine transoceanic systems. We explore the current fiber solutions for these systems and discuss possible future directions. We compare the dispersion compensation techniques for these systems. We also discuss fibers for the emerging markets of terrestrial ultra-long haul and metropolitan networks
