Abstract :
Summary form only given. In optical communication systems the bandwidth is limited by the chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber. One method to extend this limit is to use dispersion-compensating fibers (DCFs). We study the effects of self phase modulation (SPM) on the most basic link consisting of only one single mode fiber (SMF) and a DCF. In the present work we present an analytical theory based on the variational approach, which has the advantage of giving a clear physical picture, including scaling with relevant parameters of the DCF scheme.
