Abstract:
In wavelength-division-multiplexed communication systems phase jitter is driven by amplifier noise and mediated by cross-phase modulation. The variational method is used to derive formulas for the absolute phase variance of an ensemble of solitons and the relative phase variance of ensembles of neighboring solitons. The predictions of these formulas are consistent with the results of numerical simulations.

A single-phase line consists of two solid cylindrical conductors, denoted as x and y. Each conductor carries phasor currents ix and iy, respectively. Given that the sum of these currents is...
Capacitance: Single-Phase And Three-Phase Line
Single-Phase Lines
Consider a single-phase, two-wire transmission line with equal phase spacing energized by a voltage source. One conductor carries a uniform positive charge, while the other carries an equal negative charge. The capacitance C of the line can be derived from the voltage V between the conductors. For a one-meter section of the line, the capacitance is given...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
