Abstract
Signal tolerance to accumulated chromatic dispersion diminishes as the square of the bit rate. Therefore, 40-Gb/s signals are 16 times more sensitive to chromatic dispersion than 10-Gb/s signals. In almost all 40-Gb/s systems, highly-accurate dispersion management must be implemented, potentially requiring tunable dispersion compensators.
