When DT =16 ps/km/nm and R= 2.5 Gbps, L ≈ 500 km, whereas it drops to
30 km at 10 Gbps bit rate.
Dispersion-Compensating Fiber
where DTF(λ) is the chromatic dispersion factor for the transmission fiber,
DDCF(λ) is the chromatic dispersion factor for the DCF and Δλ is the transmitter
spectral width. Similarly, the total attenuation loss of the two-fiber combination
is given by
Therefore, given target values for chromatic dispersion and attenuation loss
plus specifications of the transmitter, fiber and receiver, one can determine the
lengths of the transmission fiber and the DCF by solving the above two equations
simultaneously.
The DCF has the same parameters as the transmission fiber except that the
chromatic dispersion factor is about –80 ps/nm/km at 1550 nm, while the
chromatic dispersion of the transmission fiber is about 16 ps/nm/km for SSMF.
