Abstract

"We carry out numerical simulations to compare the impact of the fiber nonlinear effects on transmission of 40 and 80 WDM channels modulated at 10 Gb/s, for three different fiber types, standard single mode fiber, large effective area NZDSF, and reduced dispersion slope NZDSF. By comparing the results with single channel transmission, we explain the contribution of the main nonlinear effects to the power penalties obtained."
