text: Because the dispersion compensation elements have significant insertion loss, adding them between the input amplifier and output amplifier together would significantly degrade the performance of the ROADM node for two reasons: first, because the loss between the amplifiers would become significantly larger and comparable to or even greater than the span loss, and second, because typical dispersion compensation elements are composed of dispersion compensating fibers in which significant nonlinear penalties are generated at low powers, the power launched from the input amplifier would need to be reduced, which would degrade the ROADM node noise performance.
