Timing Jitter for Dispersion-Managed Solitons in Optical Fibers

The collision induced frequency and timing jitter for a wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton system with strong dispersion-management is computed in realistic systems when damping and amplification following the loss profile are included. For small-moderate frequence separation the residual frequency shift is shown to be small. When the frequency separation between the channels is large, Laplace's method shows that the frequency shift can be significant. Moreover the Poisson sum formula can be used to globally analyze the frequency and timing shifts. A statistical analysis is carried out for the frequency and timing jitter. The analytical results are supported by numerical simulations.
