Capacity in nonlinear fiber transmission systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Published conference outputConference publication

Abstract

We review the nonlinear channel capacity of optical fiber communication systems using both linear and nonlinear amplifiers. We show that the capacity of a nonlinear transmission system employing linear optical amplifiers can be enhanced by over 300% by using all optical regeneration.
