Penalties due to the combined effects of amplitude noise and timing-jitter with application to a 40 Gbit/s DM-soliton system

Journal article, 2005

We derive equations for penalties introduced by the combined effects of timing-jitter and amplitude noise in a transmission link. We then apply the results on a DM-soliton system operating at 40 Gbit/s, where Gordon-Haus-jitter is important at large distances. We predict, using the theory, the maximum transmission distance for various systems. Finally, we compare the theory with numerical simulations and find a good agreement between them.
