Process for optical communication and system for same

摘要

The required penalty in the optical signal-to-noise ratio induced by nonlinear effects in an 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 nonlinear effects.
