Tóm tắt

The authors carry out a numerical and experimental comparison between three different techniques for chromatic dispersion compensation on a terrestrial 40-Gb/s system. They are: periodic dispersion compensation at the amplifier places; the same but with initial prechirp; and dispersion compensation all at the end of the system by means of highly dispersed pulses. Numerical results are consistent with experimental ones and suggest the most convenient compensation technique with respect to fiber type (G.652 or G.655) and pulsewidth (3-10 ps).
