Efficient approach for modeling collision-induced timing jitter in WDM return-to-zero dispersion-managed systems

摘要

A semi-analytical approach that allows us to create an efficient numerical algorithm to accurately evaluate collision-induced timing jitter in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems with return-to-zero (RZ) modulation format is developed. The approach agrees well with full numerical simulations. The computational time is reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to full numerical simulations.
