Efficient Approach for Modeling Collision-Induced Timing Jitter in WDM Return-to-Zero Dispersion-Managed Systems

Page 1148.

Abstract:

A semi-analytical approach that allows us to create an efficient numerical algorithm to accurately evaluate collision-induced timing jitter in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems with return-to-zero (RZ) modulation format is developed. The approach agrees well with full numerical simulations. The computational time is reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to full numerical simulations.
