Influence of group-delay ripple on timing jitter induced by SPM and IXPM in systems with dispersion compensated by CFBG

An analytical expression was proposed to analyze the influence of group-delay ripple(GDR)on timing jitter induced by self-phase modulation(SPM)and intra-channel cross-phase modulation(IXPM)in pseudo- linear transmission systems when dispersion was compensated by chirped fiber Bragg grating(CFBG). Effects of ripple amplitude,period,and phase on timing jitter were discussed by theoretical and numerical analysis in detail.The results show that the influence of GDR on timing jitter changes linearly with the amplitude of GDR and whether it decreases or increases the timing jitter relies on the ripple period and ripple phase.Timing jitter induced by SPM and IXPM could be suppressed totally by adjusting the relative phase between the center frequency of the pulse and the ripples.
