Long-distance transmission at zero dispersion: combined effect of the Kerr nonlinearity and the noise of the in-line amplifiers

Repeaterless long-distance transmission schemes are investigated in the presence of the Kerr nonlinearity and of the spontaneous-emission noise of the in-line amplifiers. Second- and higher-order dispersion coefficients are assumed to be zero. Criteria for optimizing the system performance are given.
