Abstract
The effect of intra-channel four-wave mixing on the performance of a 160 Gb/s OTDM RZ 100 km transmission system is analyzed. Strong dispersion management to suppress the detrimental effects of intra-channel four-wave mixing is presented theoretically and verified experimentally. Results demonstrate that amplitude fluctuation and ghost pulses are well suppressed by strong dispersion management. Stable (>2 h) error-free (10−12) transmission over 100 km is achieved without forward-error correction, and the power penalty is ∼3.6 dB.
