Abstract

Enhancement of jitter suppression of a soliton by combination of fixed-frequency filters with periodic dispersion compensation is predicted in an analytical form by means of the Fokker–Planck equation for the soliton’s random walk. The result depends on the dispersion-compensation period but not on the ratio of the dispersions. Another result is presented that can help one to understand jitter suppression by dispersion compensation without filters, which was observed in recent experiments.
