Abstract:
Based on the first-order perturbation theory, we introduce the power-weighted dispersion distribution (PWDD) function to characterize nonlinear properties of fiber-optic transmission links. This technique offers a new perspective on dispersion management for pseudolinear transmission. A rectangular PWDD model is used to describe the formation of ghost pulses analytically in the time domain without relying on the assumption that the pulse shape is Gaussian.

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
