Influence of group-delay ripple on timing jitter induced by SPM ...

An analytical expression was proposed to analyze the influence of group-delay ripple (GDR) on timing jitter induced by self-phase modulation (SPM) and intra-channel cross-phase modulation (IXPM) in pseudo-linear transmission systems when dispersion was compensated by chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG). Effects of ripple amplitude, period, and phase on timing jitter were discussed by theoretical and numerical analysis in detail. The results show that the influence of GDR on timing jitter changes
