Abstract

We use perturbation theory to calculate the Gordon–Haus timing jitter in soliton communication systems with sliding filters. We analyze the effects of soliton parameter changes with distance that are due to the chromatic dispersion variation resulting from frequency sliding. We show that the timing-jitter control efficiency is nearly independent of the frequency-sliding sign, provided the frequency range is the same for both signs.
