Abstract:
A numerical study focusing on the feasible upgrade scenario of long-haul undersea optical fiber cable system is discussed. At first, appropriateness of the simulated performance is confirmed through conventional IM-DD modulation format. Then, capacity upgrade of the system is attempted by adopting the RZ-DPSK modulation format. As the RZ-DPSK format alone does not make capacity upgrade possible, additional methods are considered, and the modification of the dispersion map is revealed to be effective. The results show that it is possible to double the capacity of the long-haul undersea system using the RZ-DPSK modulation combined with the dispersion map modification.

Energy Stored In A Coaxial Cable
In the simplest form, a coaxial cable can be represented by two long hollow concentric cylinders in which the current flows in opposite directions. The magnetic field inside and outside the coaxial cable is determined by using Ampère's law. The magnetic field inside...
