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.
