• We propose a simplex-method to improve the transmission performance for coherent optical systems with non-identical spans.
• This method not only improves the QoT to be above the requirement, but also minimizes the number of EDFA.
• The effectiveness of our strategy is proved through both theoretical calculation and numerical simulation.
A simplex-method based optimizing (SMO) strategy is proposed to improve the transmission performance for dispersion uncompensated (DU) coherent optical systems with non-identical spans. Through analytical expression of quality of transmission (QoT), this strategy improves the Q factors effectively, while minimizing the number of erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier (EDFA) that needs to be optimized. Numerical simulations are performed for 100 Gb/s polarization-division multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PDM-QPSK) channels over 10-span standard single mode fiber (SSMF) with randomly distributed span-lengths. Compared to the EDFA configurations with complete span loss compensation, the Q factor of the SMO strategy is improved by approximately 1 dB at the optimal transmitter launch power. Moreover, instead of adjusting the gains of all the EDFAs to their optimal value, the number of EDFA that needs to be adjusted for SMO is reduced from 8 to 2, showing much less tuning costs and almost negligible performance degradation.
