The impact of the fiber dispersion effects on the multi-user interference (MUI) is reported using a commercial optical systems simulator, Virtual Instrument Photonic, VPItransmissionMaker�. The VC code is compared mathematically with other codes which use similar techniques. We have analyzed and optimized the data rate, fiber length, and channel spacing in order to reduce the BER without the need to deploy dispersion compensating devices. We have demonstrated that, for a high data rate (higher than 2.5 Gb/s), even if dispersion compensated devices are not deployed, the BER can be significantly improved when the VC code desired parameters are selected. It is clearly seen that the MUI noise has been eliminated effectively. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77952148017&doi=10.1109%2fONDM.2010.5431598&partnerID=40&md5=cf6760913cc243136113bef739307620 id_number: 10.1109/ONDM.2010.5431598 full_text_status: none publication: 2010 14th Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling, ONDM 2010 place_of_pub: Kyoto refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783901882418 citation: Ahmed, H.Y. and Faye, I. and Saad, N.M. and Al Junid, S.A.
