Description of the Transfer Matrix analytical tool developed both dispersion regions. for Sideband Instability, an eect related to Parametric Gain in presence of periodical links. the Experimental measurements on a recirculating loop. Comparison between experimental, theoretical and simulated results. 2

3 Communications Group - Politecnico di Torino Pirelli Cables Systems Introduction PG is caused by the interaction of ber nonlinearities with dispersion. PG induces a transfer of optical power from the signal to the noise, in both dispersion regions. ASE PG eects dispersion region ) Noise Enhancement Anomalous Modulation Instability Normal dispersion region ) Noise Enhancement Periodical structures are aected by Sideband Instability too. 3

15 Communications Group - Politecnico di Torino Pirelli Cables Systems Conclusions Parametric Gain occurs in normal dispersion as well. In long-haul systems PG can be one of the most important phenomena. limiting PG characteristics are determined by signal intensity and dispersion. ber A new analytical tool for the evaluation of the impact of PG been derived. has Good agreement between experiments, simulation and has been obtained. theory 15
