Abstract

Nonlinear interactions between neighboring pulses in an optical-time-division-multiplexed (OTDM) system may cause a timing jitter of the signal pulse, which results in a limitation of the transmission distance and bit-rate. We show that alternating the amplitudes or phases of pulses in the time sequence is effective for reducing the interactions between dispersion managed solitons as in the case of the ideal soliton, but only for a relatively weak dispersion management.
