The influence of stochastic dispersion on optical soliton system and its suppression

Abstract

The influence of stochastic dispersion on an optical soliton communication system is investigated, and the method of reducing this influence is also given. The analysis shows that the existence-of stochastic dispersion results in the arrival time jitter, which is in proportion to the mean square fluctuation of the imaginary component of stochastic dispersion and is related to soliton amplitude and velocity. The influence of stochastic dispersion can be reduced by using filtering method in frequency domain.
