H. Toda et al., REDUCTION OF DISPERSIVE WAVES BY CHIRPING COMPENSATION IN AN OPTICAL SOLITON SOURCE WITH AN ELECTROABSORPTION MODULATOR, Journal of lightwave technology, 15(5), 1997, pp. 743-748
A proper amount of group delay dispersion of a dispersion compensating
fiber or a single mode fiber reduces chirping of the optical pulse ge
nerated by an electroabsorption modulator, Evaluation of the amount of
dispersive wave (nonsoliton components) contained in the output of th
e fiber by means of the inverse scattering transform provides the cond
ition to minimize the dispersive wave generation although it does not
generally agree with the condition to minimize the pulse width.
