Lecture

Propagation of Non-Gaussian Pulses

Description

This lecture discusses the behavior of non-Gaussian pulses during propagation, highlighting that only Gaussian pulses remain Gaussian. The presentation covers the impact of higher order dispersion on pulse shape, the use of RMS pulse width as a measure, and the effect of source spectrum width on dispersive broadening. Examples illustrate limitations on bit rate for incoherent sources and the benefits of coherent sources near the zero dispersion wavelength.
