Abstract
The non-linear degradation along a RZ-WDM 40 Gb/s transmission link is shown to be reduced when a spectral direct sequence bipolar phase shift keying (DS/BPSK) encoding format is used. Standard single mode fibre transmission links are studied which use optical phase conjugation for dispersion compensation in the encoded system. For a WDM system with 100 GHz channel spacing, an improvement of 6 dB is found in the link output power margin at a distance of 300 km after five amplification stages.
