title: Symmetrical dispersion compensation for standard monomode-fiber-based communication systems with large amplifier spacing.
abstract: Optical 10-Gbit / s return-to-zero pulse transmission in cascaded communication systems using dispersion compensation of the standard monomode fiber with large amplifier spacing is examined. It is shown that pulse distortions that are due to Kerr nonlinearity are significantly diminished by symmetrical ordering of the compensation sections when the total number of precompensation and postcompensation sections is equal. Repositioning of these sections is not critical.
