T. Georges et B. Charbonnier, REDUCTION OF THE DISPERSIVE WAVE IN PERIODICALLY AMPLIFIED LINKS WITHINITIALLY CHIRPED SOLITONS, IEEE photonics technology letters, 9(1), 1997, pp. 127-129
It is shown that a prechirping of the input solitons can reduce the di
spersive wave created by the local mismatch between linear and nonline
ar effects on a link with large amplifier spacing (Z(A) greater than o
r equal to 50 km) and a small dispersion length (Z(c) < Z(A)). This te
chnique is shown to be compatible with the chirped (bandwidth limited)
amplification and to increase its domain of application.
