The CD-electrical power curve is simulated to investigate the effects of the factors above mentioned. Theoretical analysis shows that in single-channeled fiber link,the effect of SPM is small enough （≤0. 003% ） to be ignored,while the chirps and the losses must be taken into account ; the bandwidth of the detected frequency band would better be less than 2π× GHz;the selected central frequency is related to the shape of the original pulse,a central frequency of 12 GHz is chosen in a 4.0 Gbit/s system,and 5GHz is chosen in a 10 Gbit/s system. A testing system is established. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis.展开更多
