Yhc. Kwan et al., Effect of group-delay ripples on dispersion-managed soliton communication systems with chirped fiber gratings, OPTICS LETT, 26(13), 2001, pp. 959-961
The effect of group-delay ripples in dispersion-managed soliton communicati
on systems that use chirped fiber gratings for dispersion compensation is s
tudied. Using both a reduced model and direct numerical simulation, we find
that dispersion-managed solitons exist even in the presence of large dispe
rsion variation caused by group-delay ripples. The dispersion-managed solit
ons suppress the growth of intersymbol interference induced by the group-de
lay ripples. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
