Maximum-Likelihood Detection of Soliton with Timing Jitter

Optics 2013-01-15 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

Using the maximum-likelihood detector (MLD) of a soliton with timing jitter and noise, other than walk-out of the bit interval, timing jitter does not degrade the performance of MLD. When the MLD is simulated with important sampling method, even with a timing jitter standard deviation the same as the full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of the soliton, the signal-to-noise (SNR) penalty is just about 0.2 dB. The MLD performs better than conventional scheme to lengthen the decision window with additive noise proportional to the window wide.
