Abstract :
An analytical expression involving both system parameters and step size is proposed to represent the local simulation error for the split-step Fourier simulation. Based on this result, scaling rules are derived to obtain comparable global accuracy for different system parameters. This is significant in enhancing computational efficiency in optical fiber communication system design and optimization.
