We have performed a numerical simulation of transmission of optical DP QPSK signals at a rate of 40 Gbaud over a distance of 2000 km. It is shown that a channel with large negative dispersion and preliminary large positive pulse chirping significantly reduces nonlinear distortion and improves the signal quality. To further reduce the probability of recognition error, it is proposed, instead of a negative dispersion fibre, to use compensators with low attenuation.
