“…Since the amplifier gain evolves on a time-scale of milliseconds, while evolves on a time-scale of picoseconds, we must use a multiple time/length-scale approach in which we average over the rapid variations of to determine the evolution of the gain and then fix the gain to determine the evolution of [22]. If we consider the evolution of the gain coefficient of the th amplifier in the loop, then its gain coefficient may be written (4) where is the normalized time; in contrast to used in (1), is unretarded. The distance is internal to the amplifier so that and is normalized with respect to .…”

Abstract-We have developed a model that accurately predicts the dynamics of the signal pulses and the growth of amplified spontaneous emission noise in a dispersion-managed soliton pulse train propagating in a recirculating fiber-loop experiment. Theoretically predicted dependencies of the amplitude and phase margins for the marks and the amplitude margin for the spaces as a function of distance are in remarkable agreement with the experiments. This model allows us to determine the key physical effects that limit the propagation distance in our experiments.Index Terms-Amplitude margin, amplified spontaneous emission noise, dispersion-managed soliton (DMS), excess gain, filter, phase margin, pulse dynamics, timing jitter.

“…21 Since transmission systems are generally in normal dispersion regions where group velocity is smaller than c, group delay distortions are caused by the lagging group delay. [22][23][24] So far, various dispersion compensation schemes have been proposed to eliminate group delay distortion in optical fiber transmission. digital compressors, and in-line amplifiers.…”

Dispersion, which originates from the total frequency responses of materials, devices and transmission lines, makes envelope distortion of signals inevitable in transmission systems. In this study, we investigate the group delay distortion of a signal due to the presence of dispersion in transmission systems, and propose an approach to eliminate the distortion by compensation based on engineered material dispersion. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that utilizing the anomalous frequency response of a dispersive material, envelope distortion of a signal passing through a given transmission system can be fully compensated. Compared with previous researches on dispersion compensation using grating compressors or chirp compressors in optics and non-Foster circuits in microwave bands, the proposed approach is robust and scalable to other frequency bands.

“…However, in real systems the initial puls differs from the final soliton shape. The pulses pass through a complex transient regime before transforming into solitons [7], and propagation in the transient regime can be as long as 10 000 km. Our analysis shows that when the initial pulses have slowly dropping tails, the interpulse interaction in the transient regime can be significantly stronger than the interpulse interaction in the soliton regime.…”

Abstract-We showed that long-distance transmission is affected by the source pulse tails. Fast tail dropoff dramatically improves the transmission. We found that the tails must be at least 20 dB down 50 ps from the peak in order to successfully transmit signals over 20 000 km at 20 Gbit/s with anomalous path average dispersion. While tails that are 15 dB down 50 ps from the peak are sufficient to transmit data at 10 Gbit/s over 20 000 km with anomalous path average dispersion, the tails must be down at least 25 dB 50 ps from the peak to transmit data with slightly normal path average dispersion.Index Terms-Optical fiber communication, optical solitons, optical fiber dispersion, optical propagation in nonlinear media.
