Abstract
This paper reviews the application of the Volterra series expansion to
fiber-optic communication systems and performance evaluation of dispersion
maps. It is shown that under certain conditions periodically
dispersion-managed multispan systems can be approximated by simple
single-span systems with dispersion precompensation. This single-span
approximation can help us to identify equivalent system configurations and
estimate optimum system parameters. To set an example, the single-span model
is employed to analyze transmission systems based on the return-to-zero
on–off-keying modulation format and direct detection.
