Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of this research project is to develop basic system design rules and to perform optimisation of terabits dispersion-managed standard mono mode fibre transmission lines. The problems we propose to investigate are the backbone of a possible future generation of advanced communication networks. This proposal puts forth a theoretical study and numerical modelling that will produce some of the scientific underpinnings for terabits ultra-fast nonlinear WDM optical transmission lines based on standard monomode fibre. Such systems are very complex and involve many parameters to be optimised. It is almost impractical to solve this problem experimentally and even using traditional numerical methods it is very time-consuming. We will develop, therefore, efficient theoretical and numerical approaches to the optimisation of the dispersion management for RZ WDM terabits basically 25x40 Gb/s fibre communication system.
