Scale of WDM transport network using different types of fibers.

This paper describes a statistical calculation method for transmission limits taking into consideration dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) zero-dispersion wavelength deviation for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems employing unequal channel spacing. For example, the upper limit of fiber inpu...
