COMBINATION OF IN-LINE FILTERING AND RECEIVER DISPERSION COMPENSATIONFOR AN OPTIMIZED SOLITON TRANSMISSION

The Gordon-Haus limit can be partially overcome with the combination o f in-line filtering and receiver dispersion compensation. Theoretical analysis leads to an analytical jitter calculation and its predictions are in good agreement with the corresponding simulated values. It is shown that even if the receiver dispersion compensation technique beco mes less efficient with narrow filters and is limited by pulse broaden ing, an optimum choice of system parameters allows an effective reduct ion of the Gordon-Haus jitter by a factor of 3.5 for trans-Pacific lin ks with a penalty-free transmission.
