Control position of net residual dispersion in dispersion-managed link configured with the artificially distribution of lengths of SMF and magnitudes of RDPS

Abstract

We propose the design methods for flexible dispersion-managed link configured by the artificial distribution of the lengths of single-mode fibers and the magnitude of residual dispersion per spans, in which the mid-span spectral inversion is combined. For this purpose, we investigate the optimal artificial distributions among 16 link configurations and the optimal control position of net residual dispersion in the entire transmission link among 4 control positions. Applying the optimal distribution patterns and the optimal positions controlling the net residual dispersion, which are induced in this study, the dispersion-managed link configured by these are capable to increase the transmitted power and the effective net residual dispersion range than the conventional dispersion-managed link. © 2020 Akademi Sains Malaysia.
