Dispersion Matrices And Their Application To Ultra-highspeed Time Division Multiplexed Systems

Abstract

E9.4 Dispersion Matrices and their Application to Ultra=highspeed Time Division Multiplexed Systems S.P. Dijaili, J.S. Smith, J.R. Whinnery, and A. Dienes, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. The propagation of Gaussian pulses in a single-mode fiber can be shown to be analogous to the propagation of Gaussian beams in free space. The analog of the ABCD matrix for Gaussian beams (a dispersion matrix), is used to analyze the propagation of achirped Gaussian pulse arising from a gain-switched DFBLD. We show that 80 Gbitlsec can be transmitted over 10 Km.
