WDM systems generally use DCMs to compensate for chromatic dispersion. Which of the following statements about DCM-based dispersion compensation is false?
A
If the DCM configuration is incorrect, the system OSNR will deteriorate.
B
Compared with line transmission optical fibers, DCMs are prone to non-linear effects. Therefore, the incident optical power of the DCMs must be controlled.
C
For a 10G system with a fiber length shorter than 400 km, G.652-specific DCMs can be used to compensate for dispersion in G.655 (Leaf) optical fibers.
D
If the DCM configuration is false, the receive-end performance will deteriorate.
