Abstract
We develop a perturbation theory to analytically calculate the effects
of complete and incomplete interchannel collisions of Gaussian pulses in a
wavelength-division-multiplexed system with strong dispersion management.
We show that, for complete collisions, the collision-induced frequency shift
of a Gaussian pulse is negligible, whereas its position shift is significant
and can be found in a simple analytical form. For strong dispersion management
we find that incomplete collisions can be neglected, whereas for dispersion
management of moderate strength the contribution of the incomplete collisions
can be significant. The analytical predictions are in satisfactory agreement
with numerical results. We also give an estimate of the limit imposed on the
transmission distance by such collisions.
