Distributed Amplification with Dispersion Management for Fiber-Optic Communication Systems

这项建议集中在高速OTDM链路的分布式放大和色散管理的潜力上。要了解噪声、色散、非线性和有限带宽在分布式放大链路中的作用，需要进行大量的理论和实验工作，从而得出100Gbit/S高速链路的设计指南。与领先的光纤制造商康宁公司的研究合作完全符合GOALI计划的范围。专业技术人员在康宁提供的特种纤维开展的实验部分工作将为该工作增添巨大价值，显示其对行业潜在的高影响力。

This proposal is focused on the potential of distributed amplification with dispersion management for high speed OTDM links. Extensive theoretical and experimental work is to be performed to understand the role of noise, dispersion, nonlinearity and finite bandwidth in a distributed amplification link, leading to guidelines for the design of high-speed links of 100 Gbit/s. The research collaboration with Corning, the leading manufacturer of optical fibers, fits well within the scope of the GOALI program. Expertise in Corning to provide the specialty fibers to carry out the experimental part of the work will add tremendous value to the work, indicating its potential high impact to industry.
