Abstract
The traditional split-step algorithm for calculating the signal transmissio n through optical fibres is significantly accelerated without loss of accur acy. Speed-up factors of up to 10 are achieved by switching back and forth between time and frequency domain calculations combined with an innovative step-size allocation method.
