With a single linear compensator, the optimal location is not preceding the receiver but located at about 2/3 of the fiber link. When N compensators are approximately optimally placed, the standard deviation of nonlinear phase noise is reduced by a factor of 2N + 1. The optimal compensation factors are all approximately equal to each other.application/pdf344583 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TWNonlinear phase noiseFiber nonlinearitiesNoise compensationjournal article10.1016/j.optcom.2004.10.009http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/2006111501243601/1/3970.pdf
