Soliton systems suffer from jitter in the arrival times of the symbols - known as the Gordon-Haus effect. This is a performance limiting impairment which is receiving considerable attention in the optical communications research community. The objective of this project is to investigate the extent to which receiver signal processing can ease the requirements and increase tolerance to jitter on the incoming signal.Progress:Comprehensive models have been developed for the key receiver signal processing functions - timing extraction and signal shaping -allowing for the presence of Gordon-Haus jitter on the incoming optical signal. Techniques have been devised which enable the signal dependant character of the noise associated with the received signal to be captured within the modelling and receiver optimisation process and the application of this to first design and realisation of receivers is being studied. Validation of the theoretical modelling is to be effected in the first instance with the aid of an established soliton link simulator. In parallel, a pseudo-Gordon-Haus jitter generation scheme has been devised which will facilitate laboratory testing prior to eventual proving in an experimental system.
