Abstract

We propose a new method to compensate exactly for both chromatic dispersion and self-phase modulation in a transmission fiber, where the light intensity changes due to fiber loss and amplifier gain. This method utilizes optical phase conjugation (OPC). The pulse shape is precompensated before OPC by transmission through a fiber with large dispersion. A computer simulation demonstrates effective compensation for waveform distortion in a 40 Gb/s NRZ intensity-modulated light transmission
