S. H. Lawan, D. S. Shu’aibu, S. A. Babale . Hyperbolic-Secant Pulse Propagation in a Single Mode Optical Fiber System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 58, 12 ( November 2012), 23-27. DOI=10.5120/9335-3645
Results of Hyperbolic-Secant pulse propagation in a single-mode optical fiber communication system are presented. Dispersion results in pulse broadening which limits the information carrying capacity of the fiber. Hyperbolic-Secant pulse propagation model is obtained using split-step Fourier Method from nonlinear Schrodinger Equation. It was found that hyperbolic-secant pulse has a much more uniform pulse broadening and also experience less pulse broadening when compared to a Gaussian pulse at same propagation distance.
