Abstract

We offer a modified version of the Volterra series transfer function (VSTF) method that has been previously proposed as an analytical solution to the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation for single-mode fibers. The modified VSTF provides a simple closed-form expression of the output of a mildly nonlinear fiber. It gives orders more accurate result than the original VSTF method and can successfully solve the energy divergence problem experienced by the original method. The result is a stronger analytical tool for modeling signal propagation in optical communication systems.
