Abstract
The reduction of the number of EDFAs in a transmission link using nonlinear equalization was investigated for a 25GBaud RZ50-16QAM transmission. Nonlinear equalization was found to reduce the amount of EDFAs by up to 50% in comparison with linear equalization, depending on the type of fiber and the sampling rate of receiver ADC.
