Recovered efficiency of filter control in dispersion-managed solitons for optical regeneration applications: analysis and experimental validation

摘要

We demonstrate numerically that local conversion of dispersion-managed return-to-zero pulses into nonlinear Schrodinger solitons fully restores optical filtering control for energy stabilization, thus permitting the association of optical regeneration with dispersion-managed propagation. Experimental validation is achieved by means of 40-Gbit/s regenerated dispersion-managed loop transmission over 10,000 km.
