Abstract
The specification describes an optical transmission system for high speed, high capacity digital pulse transmission, i.e. at least 10 Gb/s at a duty cycle of at least 10%, which uses transmission fiber with a dispersion value greater than 20 ps/(nm-km) or more negative than −5 ps/(nm-km). The system operates in the pseudo-linear transmission mode (PLTM). In the PLTM it was discovered that pulse distortion decreases, i.e. eye closure penalty actually decreases, as the dispersion value increases. System performance actually improves by increasing the value of absolute dispersion of the transmission fiber.
