Timing jitter characteristics of RZ pulse nonlinear transmission on dispersion managed fiber link

摘要

One of the limitation factors on the achievable distance forlong-haul nonlinear Return-to-Zero(RA)-Gaussian pulse transmission onoptical fiber links is timing jitter. Although it is well known thatthe dispersion management technique is very effective to reduce thetiming jitter, comparisons among some dispersion management methodsbased on the timing jitter re- duction have not been reported yet. Inthis paper, timing jitter reduction by some dispersion managementmethods in nonlinear RZ-Gaussian pulse transmission systems arediscussed.
