Abstract
The capacity of optical fiber transmission systems has experienced explosive growth over the past few years due, in large part, to the management of the fiber's chromatic dispersion and nonlinearities. In dispersion-managed systems, there is always an absolute value of local dispersion that suppresses these nonlinearities, and a periodic introduction of negative dispersion is used to compensate for any accumulated positive dispersion.
