Suppression of Timing Jitter for Optical Solitons in Fibers
E.V. Doktorov and I.S. Kuten

We demonstrate on the examples of the Manakov and modified nonlinear Schrödinger (MNSE) solitons that there exists a possibility to vary the magnitude of the Gordon-Haus (GH) jitter by adjusting the soliton parameters. While for the Manakov soliton we can reduce the GH jitter in one of the polarization modes at the cost of the other mode, for MNSE soliton the absolute suppression is possible.
Key words: soliton, birefringence, Gordon-Haus effect, fiber
