Time-lens timing-jitter compensator in ultra-long haul DWDM dispersion managed soliton transmissions

Abstract: A time lens based on clock-driven phase modulators followed by linear dispersion accurately removes timing-jitter. When used prior to the receiver, the time lens greatly improves bit-error-rate performance in DWDM dispersion managed soliton transmissions.
