Boundary Case of Pulse Propagation Analytic Solution in the Presence of Interference and Higher Order Dispersion

Higher order dispersion is one of the most important limiting factors in high-speed optical transmission systems. In this paper the pulse propagation problem under the influence of higher order dispersion is considered by treating the fiber as a linear medium. The influence of interference is also considered and analytic solution of pulse propagation in the presence of interference and higher order dispersion is given. Interference is time and phase shifted in regard to useful signal. We consider the worst case, i.e. case when phase shift is pi
