Abstract

The transmission speed of optical networks strongly depends on the impact of higher order dispersion. In the presence of coherent interference which can't be kept under control by optical filtering, the impact of higher order dispersion becomes more serious. In this paper we give general expressions that describe pulse deformation due to even higher order dispersion in a single-mode fiber. The impulsive responses for even order dispersion in the presence of coherent interference are characterized by symmetrical waveforms with long trailing skirts. Individual and joint influence of second and fourth order dispersion on the transmission quality is studied. Pulse shape and eye diagram are obtained.
