Optical phase conjugation (OPC) and dispersion management are both techniques for improving high-speed optical communication systems using very short (width < 10 ps) solitons. OPC can be used at either the fiber mid-point [1, 2] or periodically [3, 4] to reduce Gordon-Haus jitter and soliton-soliton interactions. Similarly, dispersion management can be used to reduce jitter as well as the effects of soliton collisions in WDM systems [5, 6].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
