Abstract: We numerically demonstrate the dispersion map configured by random-based residual dispersion per span (RDPS) applied into the mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) system to mitigate the impact of chromatic dispersion and the fiber nonlinearity in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signals. The dispersion map proposed was a scheme in which the RDPS of all optical fiber spans in the front section of the midway optical phase conjugator (OPC) are randomly selected, and the arrangement order of the RDPS in the rear section is inverted from that of the front section. Numerical simulations were performed by evaluating the compensation of the distorted 960 Gb/s WDM signal as a function of the variation of the DCF length and the SMF length, which are involved in determining RDPS. It was confirmed that the compensation effect of the proposed dispersion maps has improved compared to the conventional dispersion map since the dispersion maps examined in this paper have antipodal symmetry around the midway OPC. In particular, it was confirmed that the method of randomly determining the RDPSs by varying the DCF length slightly improved system performance compared to the variation of SMF lengths. We also found that the feature of the RDPS random distribution patterns can achieve excellent compensation for the distorted WDM signal through 50 iterations.
