Abstract
The performance of amplified dense wavelength division multiplexed systems is theoretically analysed to evaluate the limitations owing to four-wave mixing and gain peaking effects. Optimisation of dispersion management and wavelength allocation result in the possible transmission of 88 channels (0.25 nm spacing) over 500 km.Keywords
