Improving transmission performance in differential phase-shift-keyed systems by use of lumped nonlinear phase-shift
Abstract:
We show that significant improvements in transmission performance can be achieved in differential phase-shift-keyed systems by use of lumped nonlinear phase-shift compensation (NPSC). A simple device that provides NPSC is described. In a 10-Gbit/s single-channel system based on dispersion-managed solitons, an improvement in performance (Q(2)) of almost 6dB is realized by NPSC after 6000km of transmission. In dense wavelength-division multiplexed systems, interchannel cross-phase modulation reduces the effectiveness of NPSC slightly.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
