Optimal design of dispersion management for a soliton wavelength-division-multiplexed system.
We obtain analytical formulas for minimizing chirp and timing jitter that lead to optimal designs for a soliton-wavelength-division-multiplexed system with dispersion management and lumped amplifiers. The method used here is the guiding-center theory, from which we obtain a stationary pulse shape (guiding-center soliton) that has enhanced power and an increased time-bandwidth product compared with those of a soliton alone.
