Figure 83 -The results of the scripted calculations of a dispersion compensated link span<br />

Chances are that this single link might be useful for building longer multi-span systems. In that<br />

case it is recommended to encapsulate it into a sub-system, which would later on allow<br />

reproducing the same combination of components quickly and efficiently.<br />

We create a new design version, selecting “Design Version/ Add Design Version” from the main<br />

menu of OptiSys and change its name to “Amplified Dispersion Compensating Subsystem”. After<br />

that we copy and paste all the components of Version 1 in it.<br />

Next, as shown in Lesson 2: Subsystems – Hierarchical simulation, we select all the components,<br />

except the signal source and the booster amplifier (including or skipping the visualizers), and<br />

select “Create subsystem” from the right click context menu. Our layout collapses into the visual<br />

representation of a subsystem. First we create an output port in the subsystem by selecting “Look<br />

Inside” from the right-click menu and using the “Output port” tool. After that we can change the<br />

name of the new subsystem to something informative, for instance “Amplified Dispersion<br />

Compensated Span”, using the “Component Parameters” menu item.<br />
