ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION OF PULSE BROADENING FACTOR PROPAGATING THROUGH NONLINEAR OPTICAL FIBERS (TRADITIONAL AND OPTIMUM DISPERSION COMPENSATED FIBERS)

In this paper, analytical relation for pulse width evolution and broadening in fiber systems using the Volterra series transfer function (VSTF) in linear and nonlinear cases are derived. This evaluation is done for traditional and optimum dispersion compe
