Black solitons in dispersion-managed fiber transmission systems

In an ideal continuous exponential varying-dispersion fiber, black solitons, like their bright counterparts, can propagate over long distances without being broadened when the weakened nonlinearity that is due to the fiber loss is compensated for by the decreasing dispersion. It is found, however, that in a practical stepwise decreasing-dispersion fiber with N steps the number of steps N required for well-behaved evolution of black solitons in a lossy fiber with negligible distortion and broadening is fewer than for bright solitons. This finding indicates that the stepwise-varying-dispersion in fibers can be more effective for extending the amplifier spacing or reducing amplifier numbers in the high-bit-rate black soliton transmission system than in the corresponding bright soliton transmission system.     

Fully parallel algorithm for simulating dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexed optical fiber systems

An efficient numerical algorithm is presented for massively parallel simulations of dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexed optical fiber systems. The algorithm is based on a weak nonlinearity approximation and independent parallel calculations of fast Fourier transforms on multiple central processor units (CPUs). The algorithm allows one to implement numerical simulations M/2 times faster than a direct numerical simulation by a split-step method, where M is a number of CPUs in a parallel network.

Proof-of-concept implementation of the massively parallel algorithm for simulation of dispersion-managed WDM optical fiber systems

We perform a proof-of-concept implementation of the massively parallel algorithm [P. M. Lushnikov, Opt. Lett. 27, 939 (2002)] for simulation of dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexed optical fiber systems. Linear scalability of the algorithm with the number of computer cores is demonstrated. Exact result on the accuracy of the implemented algorithm is found analytically and confirmed numerically as well as it is compared with the accuracy of the standard split-step algorithm.     

Effect of group-delay ripples on dispersion-managed soliton communication systems with chirped fiber gratings

The effect of group-delay ripples in dispersion-managed soliton communication systems that use chirped fiber gratings for dispersion compensation is studied. Using both a reduced model and direct numerical simulation, we find that dispersion-managed solitons exist even in the presence of large dispersion variation caused by group-delay ripples. The dispersion-managed solitons suppress the growth of intersymbol interference induced by the group-delay ripples.

Soliton collisions in wavelength-division-multiplexed dispersion-managed systems

In dense wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission with strong dispersion management, most pulses inevitably have many partial collisions with pulses of an interacting channel. These partial collisions, in conjunction with the effects of complete collisions, tend to produce unacceptably large timing jitter in high-bit-rate, long-distance transmission. With the use of frequency-guiding filters, however, the timing jitter is dramatically reduced and tends to remain indefinitely clamped to acceptably small levels.     

Soliton collisions in dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexed systems

We show that collision-induced frequency shifts in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) soliton transmission systems are strongly suppressed with increasing dispersion management. We predict new oscillations in the residual frequency shift response, owing to the relative motion induced by the dispersion map, and demonstrate a direct correlation between these oscillations and the modified soliton-collision dynamics. Simple analytical expressions for the oscillation minima are obtained, and implications for WDM soliton system design are discussed.     

Analytical investigations on crosstalk in fiber Raman amplification for WDM systems

In this paper, the analytical investigations for the crosstalk in fiber amplification for WDM channels have been reported. The crosstalk between WDM channels with external Raman amplification including second-order dispersion terms has been investigated. It has been shown that the higher-order dispersion severely degrades the performance of optical communication systems. To ensure small crosstalk, the signal gain and the injected pump power should be limited to the value well below the threshold of Raman amplification. Analytical formula for signal interference ratio (SIR) and gain in fiber Raman amplifier including the impact of second-order dispersion terms for WDM systems has been derived at different wavelengths. It has also been shown that there is increase in crosstalk due to second-order dispersion.     

Dark pulse generation in a dispersion-managed fiber laser

We report an experimental observation of dark pulse generation in a dispersion-managed erbium-doped fiber laser with net anomalous cavity group-velocity dispersion. It is found that apart from the bright soliton pulses, dark pulses with spectral sidebands could be obtained in the laser under appropriate operating conditions. The generation of dark pulses may be attributed to soliton shaping in the cavity.     

Soliton-like pulse timing jitter in dispersion-managed systems

In this paper, the timing jitter in dispersion-managed soliton-like systems with the Gaussian pulse is studied by using two methods. Firstly, the derivation of the dynamic equations for the evolution of soliton-like parameters and the timing jitter expressions for the dispersion-managed soliton-like systems are carried out by the perturbed variational method. By analysing and simulating these timing jitter expressions, one can find that the timing jitter is induced by the amplified spontaneous emission noise and the frequency shift, etc. Nonlinear gain can suppress the timing jitter. The chirp sign and the filters action have also effects on the total timing jitter. Secondly, the timing jitter is calculated and analysed by using the moment method. The results of the two methods prove to be consistent with each other.     

Gordon Haus effect in dispersion-managed soliton systems

We derive an expression for the timing jitter of a soliton owing to amplifier noise in dispersion-managed fiber systems. We show that the timing jitter is a function of the pulse width as well as of the chirp at the amplifier location and that it can be minimized by a proper choice of the amplifier position relative to the dispersion map.     

Twin families of bisolitons in dispersion-managed systems

We calculate bisoliton solutions by using a slowly varying stroboscopic equation. The system is characterized in terms of a single dimensionless parameter. We find two branches of solutions and describe the structure of the tails for the lower-branch solutions.     

Collision-induced timing shifts in dispersion-managed soliton systems

The frequency and timing shifts associated with dispersion-managed solitons in a wavelength-division multiplexed system are computed by the numerically efficient Poisson sum technique. Analytical formulas are attainable by use of this approach with a Gaussian approximation for the soliton. The results are favorably compared with known results for the frequency shift. The method also applies to quasi-linear return-to-zero transmission formats.     

Soliton stability against polarization-mode-dispersion in dispersion-managed systems

We study the dynamics of two-component solitons in a dispersion-managed (DM) system, built as a periodic concatenation of segments of optical fibers with anomalous and normal group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The model includes, in addition to the usual GVD and nonlinear terms, birefringence and polarization-mode-dispersion (PMD), in the form of the polarization scrambling (random rotation of the polarization) taking place at randomly distributed defects. We propose a numerical algorithm for finding optimized DM solitons in such a system, which secure stable transmission over a large distance. The analysis includes effects of the PMD-induced noise, together with the noise due to the spontaneous amplifier emission, and the input-source noise. It is concluded that, if the group-velocity birefringence is not excessively large, the use of the optimized solitons makes it possible to tolerate the PMD effects in the long-haul DM link.
