Optimum Launch Power in Multiband Systems
arXiv:2407.08309
Abstract
We investigate the residual throughput penalty due to ISRS, after power-optimization, in multiband systems. We show it to be mild. We also revisit the launch power optimization 3-dB rule. We find that using it is possible but not advisable due to increased GSNR non-uniformity.
