Abstract

We theoretically and experimentally investigated a prepolarization-mode dispersion (PMD) scheme for self-phase modulation (SPM) suppression. A 3.4-dB improvement in the nonlinear threshold was observed using optimum first- and second-order PMD. We also confirmed that the pre-PMD techniques can coexist with chromatic dispersion management.
