In this paper, the optimal position offset of optical phase conjugator (OPC) and the optimal dispersion offsets of fiber sections, which are alternating with the method for the symmetry of optical power and chromatic dispersion with respect to OPC, are numerically investigated as afunction of the WDM channel numbers. The WDM channel numbers are assumed to be 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The bit-rate of each channel is assumed to be 40 Gbps for all cases. It is confirmed that the optimal position offset of OPC and optimal dispersion offset of fiber section are gradually increased as the WDM channel numbers are gradually increased. But, the optimal dispersion values of fiber sections per OPC position offset of 1 km are independent on WDM channel numbers, because the optimal position offset of OPC and optimal dispersion offset of fiber section are simultaneously increased as the WDM channel numbers are increased. It is also confirmed that the applying of these optimal parameter values is efficient to WDM system with many channels rather than WDM with small channels.

New optical transmission link techniques improving performance of WDM channels, each channel have bit rate of 40 Gbps, are proposed. The proposed optical link configuration consist of optical phase conjugator (OPC) placed at middle of total transmission length, and dispersion management (DM) as a role of compensating dispersion cumulated in transmission line. It is confirmed that Q-factor of total channels are improved by combining OPC and DM in optical transmission link as a result of following fact; DM not only mitigate the cumulated dispersion in total transmission line but also help OPC to compensate optical nonlinearities. And, it is confirmed that the improvement of Q-factor of overall WDM channels depends on net residual dispersion (NRD) of optical link.

Optimal net residual dispersions (NRDs) of inline dispersion management (DM) for compensating the signal distortion of $24{\times}40$ Gbps WDM channels in optical transmission links, in which optical phase conjugator (OPC) is placed from 250 km to 750 km by spacing 50 km in 1,000 km total transmission length of single mode fiber (SMF), are induced as a function of various ope positions. And, performance improvement of WDM channels in transmission links with the induced optimal NRD is investigated by comparing with that in transmission links with NRD = 0 ps/nm. It is confirmed that optimal NRDs are decided by displacement of OPC from mid-way of total transmission length, i.e. 500 km, and the determinating and applying of optimal NRD in case of ope displacement into transmitters is more stable and effective than that in case of ope displacement into receivers from 500 km. Also, it is shown that eye opening penalties (EOPs) of WDM channels in transmission links with optimal NRD are improved by 1.5 dB to 3 dB, which are related with OPC position, from that obtained in transmission links with fixed NRD of 0 ps/nm.

In this paper, optimal position of optical phase conjugator (OPC) for best compensating distorted WDM channels due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation (SPM) in $8{\times}40$ Gbps WDM systems is numerically investigated, and the eye opening penalty (EOP) and bit error rate (BER) characteristics of overall WDM channels at this position is investigated, comparing with that in case of OPC placed at mid-way of total transmission length. It is confirmed that the compensation extents in WDM system with OPC is more improved by the shifting OPC position from the mid-way of total transmission length, depending on the modulation format and fiber dispersion coefficient. Ant it is confirmed that, from a viewpoint of the reception performance, EOP of each channel is more or less different with one another, but the BER characteristics of overall channels are almost equal.

The method of overcoming the limitation of optical phase conjugator applied into optical long-haul link for transmitting high capacity wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels was investigated. The configuration of optical link was based on dispersion-managed link, in which dispersion compensating fiber inserted into each fiber span with single mode fiber, and optical phase conjugator was added into suitable location of link. The maximum number of fiber spans as a function of the launch power of WDM channels in optical link with optical phase conjugator placed at the proposed location was induced and compared for analyzing the compensation performance of the distorted WDM channels. It was confirmed that the more optical phase conjugator depart from the midway of total transmission length, the less the distorted WDM channels was compensated, however, it was also confirmed that the degradation of compensation can be overcome by the suitable value of residual dispersion per span and by the reasonable choice of fiber span controlling total dispersion accumulated in overall transmission link.

In this paper, we investigated the method of compensation for optical pulse shape distortion due to both chromatic dispersion and SPM(self phase modulation) in a single mode fiber We selected MSSI(mid-span spectral inversion) as compensation method using OPC(optical phase conjugator). We used EOP(eye-opening penalty) parameter in order to evaluate the efficiency of waveform distortion compensation. In this paper, we induced optimum pump power level in optical phase conjugator through analytic method of computer simulation. And we investigated input signal power range being able to maintain stable reception performance under the condition of optimum pump power. We verified the possibility of high performance optical transmission system realization through the inducement and application of optimum pump power, input signal power and in-line amplifier spacing, because power control is important in the compensation for optical pulse distortion.

In this paper, the optimum pump light powers of optical phase conjugator(OPC) are numerically investigated as a function of amplifier spacing in 1,200 km $8{\times}40$ Gbps WDM systems with 0.1, 0.4, 0.8, or 1.6 ps/nm/km dispersion coefficient. It is confirmed that the variation of optimal pump light power dependence on amplifier spacing for NRZ transmission system is smaller than that for RZ transmission system through the evaluations and analysis of eye opening penalty(EOP) characteristics. And, in both cases of NRZ and RZ transmission, the variation of optimal pump light power is more increased as amplifier spacing becomes longer. Additionally, it is confirmed that the best amplifier spacing in NRZ and RZ transmission system is 50 km.

Design rule of optical transmission link consisted of dispersion management (DM) controlling accumulated dispersion in total fiber length by precompensation and postcompensation, and optical phase conjugator (OPC) positioned at mid-way are proposed. DM schemes investigated in this paper are 2 types depending on the position of precompensation and postcompensation; bi-end type and concentration type. It is confirmed that effective residual dispersion ranges, as a design parameter of optical link, of transmission section from transmitter to OPC and transmission section from OPC to receiver are independence on the positions of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) accomplishing precompensation and postcompensation, if both DCF position is symmetry with respect to OPC.

In this paper, the new method alternating with the method for forming the symmetrical distribution of power and local dispersion in high bit-rate WDM system with optical phase conjugator (OPC) is proposed. The proposed method is carried by finding out the optimal values of OPC position offset and fiber dispersion offset. It is assumed to be that NRZ-formatted 24-channels of 40 Gbps are simultaneously propagated in WDM system with non zero - dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) of 1,000 km. It is confirmed that the compensation extents of overall WDM channels are more improved by applying the induced optimal values into WDM system than those in WDM system with the conventional mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) technique, and the searching procedure of the optimal values makes little difference of performance if the optimal value of one parameter related with another parameter. And, it is confirmed that the flexible design of WDM system with OPC is possible by effectiviely using by these optimal values. Thus, it is expected that the proposed method alternate with the forming method of the symmetrical distributions of power and local dispersion.

Nonlinear effects and chromatic dispersion are the main causes of pulse degradation in high bit-rate WDM transmission systems and several architectures have been proposed to compensate them by means of optical phase conjugation. In this paper, a new method to exploit an optical phase conjugator (OPC) for nonlinearity and dispersion cancellation is disclosed. The proposed method is using optimal total dispersion of each fiber sections and it is simpler than those previously described in literature. Power penalty between WDM channels and the maximum launch power in $28{\times}40$ Gbps WDM transmission system designed by optimal total dispersion are more decreased and more increased than those in the conventional WDM transmission system with OPC, respectively. Furthermore, optimal total dispersion proposed in this research should provide the flexible design of WDM system, which less depends on OPC position.
