“…As a result, a considerable frequency chirping is induced in the output pulse [6]. Recently, Moodie et al and Brindel et al demonstrated optical pulse compression by chirping compensation of a multiple-quantum well (MQW) EA modulator output with a piece of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) [7], [8], which minimized the pulse width of the fiber output optical pulses. However, if this output pulse is to be used as a soliton source, we should evaluate the amount of dispersive wave which may be generated from the pulse, because the radiated dispersive waves affect transmission performance [9], [10].…”

A proper amount of group delay dispersion of a dispersion compensating fiber or a single mode fiber reduces chirping of the optical pulse generated by an electroabsorption modulator. Evaluation of the amount of dispersive wave (nonsoliton components) contained in the output of the fiber by means of the inverse scattering transform provides the condition to minimize the dispersive wave generation although it does not generally agree with the condition to minimize the pulse width.Index Terms-Eigenvalues/eigenfunctions, electrooptic materials/devices, nonlinear equations, optical communication, optical fiber dispersion, optical pulse compression, optical pulse generation.
