Chromatic dispersion and nonlinearity compensation in optical fibre communication

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for optical fiber communication, and a terminal device and system for use in carrying out the method, and an object of the present invention is to compensate for chromatic dispersion and nonlinearity. A device for outputting an optical signal having a variable optical power into an optical fiber transmission line is provided. The optical signal transmitted by the transmission line is converted into an electrical signal by an optical receiver. A parameter related to waveform degradation of the electrical signal is detected by a monitor unit. A control unit controls the optical power of the optical signal to be output from the device so that the waveform degradation is improved.
