Abstract
The performance of a multi-channel pulsed optical source derived from a broadband spectrum has been numerically studied in a WDM transmission system. Eye-opening penalty (EOP) is calculated as a measure of the system performance. It is conclusively observed that the performance is limited by dispersion for the lower duty ratio pulses and by the interplay between the dispersion and optical nonlinearity for increased duly ratios.
