Abstract
We analyze the influence of the span structure on the performance of Raman-amplified dispersion-managed fibers. Our calculations show that a configuration with the dispersion compensating fiber placed in the span center achieves the best trade-off between optical signal-to-noise ratio and nonlinear effects.
