Variational approach to optical pulse propagation in dispersion compensated transmission systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the area of optical pulse propagation in long-haul transmission systems various designs for dispersion compensation are investigated. On the basis of variational procedures with collective coordinates, a very effective method is presented which allows to determine quite accurately the possible operation points. We have obtained an analytical formula for the Ž . soliton power enhancement. This analytical expression is in good agreement with numerical results, in the practical limit when residual dispersion and nonlinearity only slightly affect the pulse dynamics over one compensation period. The procedure is suitable to analyze the proper design of dispersion compensating elements. The results allow also to describe the shape of the dispersion-managed soliton. We discuss also a qualitative physical explanation of the possibility to transmit a soliton at zero or normal average dispersion. Analytical predictions are confirmed by direct numerical simulations. q 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Analytical method for designing grating- compensated dispersion-managed soliton systems
We present a useful analytical method for designing grating-compensated dispersion-managed (DM) soliton systems for any desired input pulse widths and energies. The pulse-width and chirp evolution equations derived from the variational method are solved exactly to obtain the explicit analytical expressions for the length of the dispersion map and the grating dispersion. We also extend our analy...

A theory of optical pulse propagation in cascaded transmission systems that are based on the dispersioncompensatingfiber technique is developed. The existence of two scales associated with fiber dispersion and system residual dispersion leads to a simple model for the averaged pulse dynamics. In the particular case of practical importance, the averaged pulse dynamics is governed by the nonlinea...
