Dispersion management for nonlinearity mitigation in two-span 28 GBaud QPSK phase-sensitive amplifier links
Journal article, 2017

We present an investigation of dispersion map optimization for-span single channel 28 GBaud QPSK transmission systems with phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs). In experiments, when the PSA link is operated in a highly nonlinear regime, a 1.4 dB error vector magnitude (EVM) improvement is achieved compared to a one-span optimized dispersion map link due to improved nonlinearity mitigation. The two-span optimized dispersion map of a link differs from the optimized dispersion map of a dispersion managed phase-insensitive amplifier (PIA) link, Simulations show that the performance of the two-span dispersion map optimized PSA link does not improve by residual dispersion optimization. Further, by using the two-span optimized dispersion maps repeatedly in a long-haul PSA link instead of one-span optimized maps, the maximum transmission reach can he improved 1,5 times, (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
