Majority of installed fibres – ITU-T G.652, SSMF

Designed for operation in O band

C band – attractive area of operation (low IL, EDFAs, …)

CD coefficient around 1550 nm ≈ 16.8 ps/(nm * km)

CD limits reach significantly 10G NRZ - 90 km of SSMF

40G NRZ - 5 km of SSMF

100G NRZ - 900 m of SSMF !!!

Must be mitigated or compensated

Conclusions - DCFs

Post compensation - error free transmission in quite small range (about 60 – 70%)

Small pre compensation 9% - error free transmission range grows to (about 54 - 79%)

Further increase of pre compensation – lower power threshold of error free operation but decreases power range significantly

Aug 29, 2007 CSN 2007



Conclusions – alternative elements

GTEs allow lower launched input powers

Broadband FBGs easily handle high launched powers

Both fixed and tuneable channelized FBGs perform nearly identically; tuneable ones a little worse due to higher IL

Small pre compensation 9% - error free transmission range grows significantly again

Aug 29, 2007 CSN 2007



Conclusions

DCFs - well known, widely deployed and broadband but bulky, lossy, prone to non-linear effects and expensive

FBGs - commercially available, lower IL, broadband (some), tunable (some), cost effective

GTEs - very low IL, tunable, cost effective but not so widespread and available

VIPAs - not tested yet, commercial availability limited

Next challenge CD compensation at 40G
