| Abstract: | Abstract We investigate the chirp selection of externally modulated return-to-zero soliton pulse at 10 Gb/s for fiber optical communication system for the reduction in timing jitter. The chirp range (?5 to +5), as well as the effect of the post compensation, have been examined up to ten regenerated fiber spans in the link. Here, it is shown that the chirp value of the external modulator should be set to either 0 or ?1 to reduce timing jitter. Moreover, for more number of spans, it will be better to adopt other chirp values. |
