Abstract
Recently, dispersion management transmission line as SMF and RDF has been paid the considerable attention for the long-haul WDM transmission.1–3 RDF has the reverse dispersion characteristics to SMF, so total dispersion slope is one-order lower than conventional NZ-DSF. Addition to that, Four Wave Mixing (FWM) phenomena can be suppressed by a large local dispersion with this type of link. But, in case of 40 Gb/s transmission, the maximum accumulated dispersion needs to be suppressed in a low level without sacrificing the before mentioned characteristics.
