2 dB Reduction Of Transmission Penalty By Self - Phase Modulation In A 5 Gbit/s FM/AM Conversion System Experiment

Abstract: The transmission penalty of a standard non-dispersion shifted fiber is experimentally demonstrated to be reduced by Self-Phase Modulation due to the optical Kerr effect. A 2 dB reduction of transmission penalty is achieved in a 5 Gbit/s FM/AM conversion system experiment over 205 km of fiber.
