Control of Soliton-trapping induced Timing Jitters by Polarization Modulation

摘要

We propose a new method, using periodical polarization modulation scheme to suppress soliton timing jitters. In periodical polarization modulation scheme, two polarization states of the soliton are modulated to excite equally for suppressing timing jitters induced by the pulse-trapping of two unequal polarization components of the soliton. Moreover, polarization modulation can weaken the impairment effect of random birefringence on the soliton pulses in each relay distance. The numerical result shows that the soliton timing jitters are suppressed by our proposed method.
