A Numerical Study of Soliton Bit-Streams in a WDM Communication System

Abstract

To date, relatively few papers have been published on the subject of WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) as applied to a soliton communication system[1-8]. However, with the advent of TDM, (Time Division Multiplexing) and considering the effects of Gordon-Haus jitter, the bit repetition rate limit can be reached even for short pulse widths and it is now natural to look for methods of increasing the information throughput with different frequency bit-streams.
