<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of optical communication in which nonlinear optical effects are significant, and a system for the same. <P>SOLUTION: The required penalty in the optical signal-to-noise ratio induced by the nonlinear effects in the optical communication system is reduced by specific expedients. The communication system is operated and is adapted to be operated in a pseudo-linear regime. Further, an optical phase conjugator is employed with a suitable dispersion map. This combination yields a desirable improvement in the required penalty in the optical signal-to-noise ratio due to the nonlinear effects. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
