Transmission control of dispersion-managed solitons

摘要

Dispersion-managed soliton transmission control using either synchronous amplitude modulators or narrow-band filters is examined. Exact analytical solutions are derived for the variance of the timing jitter in both cases. We show that a complete suppression of the timing jitter is in general possible by a convenient choice of the strength and the relative position of the modulator or of the guiding filter in the dispersion map. The asymptotic behavior of the timing jitter shows a linear dependence with distance in both cases, which is in contrast with the cubic dependence in the uncontrolled case.
