title: Efficient modeling of phase jitter in dispersion-managed soliton systems.
abstract: The variational method is used to derive correlation equations that model phase jitter in dispersion-managed soliton systems. The predictions of these correlation equations are consistent with numerical solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on which they are based.
