Cet article aborde les problématiques de la conception et l'estimation de performance d'un système de transmission optique hétérogène, prenant en compte la multiplicité des phénomènes physiques interagissant, et tout particulièrement l'impact combiné des effets non-linéaires de type Kerr et de la dispersion chromatique. Nous passons en revue les grandes classes d'outils de design utilisés pour prédire la performance d'un système, ou pour optimiser la gestion de la dispersion chromatique. Enfin, nous introduisons les concepts de phase non-linéaire pondérée qui capturent l'impact de l'accumulation des effets non-linéaires sur le signal se propageant, et en déduisons des expressions analytiques prédisant la portée d'un système, ou permettant d'optimiser les puissances dans le contexte d'un réseau optique hétérogène composé de sections de fibres de caractéristiques très variables de l'une à l'autre.

This article introduces the issues of design and estimation of performance of a heterogeneous optical transmission system, taking into account the multiplicity of physical effects impairing propagation simultaneously, and, most particularly, the impact of Kerr-induced non-linear effects. We review the usual engineering tools enabling us to predict system performance, as well as design tools to optimize dispersion-management. Finally, we introduce the concept of weighted non-linear phase shifts, to capture the impact of the accumulated non-linearities on a propagating signal, and derive analytical expressions for system reach and power optimization in the context of highly heterogeneous optical link with mixed fiber features.
