Abstract
It is shown that nonlinear intra-channel effects imposed a limit to the transmission capacity of pulse-overlapped dispersion-managed systems. However, using pre and postcompensation techniques, thousand of kilometers at 40 Gbit/s under standard step-index fibers with 100 km amplifiers span are achievable.
