Solutions Homework 1: Problem 1

This document summarizes the solutions to three homework problems. Problem 1 calculates the spectral bandwidth and wavelength change of a Gaussian pulse propagating through 3km of fiber. It then determines the minimum time delay between pulses and maximum transmission frequency. Problem 2 and 3 are not summarized as only the solutions to Problem 1 are shown.

Solutions Homework 1

Problem 1
As discussed in our lectures, for a Gaussian pulse the time bandwidth product is given by:
= 0.44
At the input the pulse duration = 10 1012
Therefore the spectral bandwidth of the pulse is given by:
= 0.44

10 1012
= 4.4 1010
=
= =
2

2
= 3.53 1010 = 0.353
We know that = 10 , = 20/. and = 3
The pulse stretching is given by:
=
= (3 0.353 109 20) = 2.12 1011
2
=
+ 2 = 100 + 21.22

= 23.44 = 2.344 1011


Let time difference between pulses = t
From our definition of acceptable time delay between pulses 2
= 4.688 1011
Maximum Transmission Frequency (Bits/Sec) = 1
= 21.3/
4.688 1011
If instead a different source is used, then
= 2 109
= = 1.2 1010
2
2
=
+
= 1.204 1010

= 2 = 2.408 1010
Maximum Transmission Frequency (Bits/Sec) = 1
= 4.15/
2.408 1010

Problem 2
