Abstract

We present various approaches to the optimization of optical fiber lines and discuss the ranges of validity of such methods. An effective scheme for upgrading of existing transmission lines using dispersion-management with optimization of the pre- and post-compensating fiber is examined. The theory and numerical methods are illustrated in application to the upgrade of a specific installed Deutsche Telekom fiber line
