Abstract
The path-average approximation penalizes NFDM transmission over lumped amplified fiber links.We investigate suitably tapered lossy fibers to overcome the approximation error induced by the path average, making the NFDM transmission exact. Error vector magnitude gains up to 4.8 dB are observed.
