Abstract :
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that a fiber line with a symmetric dispersion swing can substantially improve the performance of 160-Gb/s optical transmissions. The improvement lies in an increased transmission distance and reduction of the optimum input signal power by one order of magnitude compared with that of a conventional system.
