Chandra Kamal Borgohain* ,Satyajit Bora* and Chakresh Kumar**
Abstract:The main aim of this paper is to implement the effect of pulse broadening of Gaussian pulse propagation inside optical fiber.
Analysisof Gaussianpulses; chirped Gaussian pulses and super Gaussian pulses are done by modifying the Nonlinear Schrodingerequation (NLSE).Further we have analyzed the pulse broadening at different propagation distances.The highest amplitude of the pulse observed at zero kilometer, and the amplitude decreases when the pulse travels for longer distances.And the boarding factor of chirped Gaussian and super Gaussian pulseswith the propagation distance is also observed.
1. Introduction
With the advancement of fast data communication process and information technology, optical fibers are finding immense utilization in many different fields, which can fulfill the demand of high bit rate communication. The propagation of light inside optical fiber can be described by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation(NLSE). Pulses propagating in optical fiber tend to broaden as they travel. This is due to the nonzero line width of the source and dispersion of the fiber material. The other causes of pulse broadening are associated with the fact that time of flight of a pulse along a ray depends on the ray trajectory. Pulsestravel along optical rays usually goes faster than pulses travel along rays of large amplitude.As fiber dispersion and nonlinearity leads to pulse degradation it is necessary to analyze the behavior of various optical pulses which may lead to lesser
degradation.The polarization mode dispersion infibers is strong enough to cause the pulse broadening and distortion [3].Simulation results show that super Gaussian pulse is broader and deformedthan Gaussian pulse.Also pulse broadening strongly depends on frequency chirp. It is seen that there is a large pulse deformity for negative chirped pulse than for positive chirped pulse.
2. Propagation Regime
The Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE)governs the propagation of optical pulse inside single mode fiber [1]

Where Ais the amplitude of the pulse envelope that varies slowly.Tis measuredin a frame of reference moving with the pulse (at the group velocityvg). The effects of fiber losses, dispersion, and nonlinearity on pulses are governed by the three terms in the right hand side of the Equation (1) respectively.
U (0, T)=exp(-T2/2T02)
(2)
Here,T0 is the half-width. In practice, it is usual to use the full width at half maximum (FWHM) in place of T0. In case of a Gaussian pulse, the two are related as
U(0,T)=exp(-(1+ic)T2/2T02)
(9)
TFWHM=2(ln2)1/2T01.665T0(3)
The amplitude at any point zalong the fiber is given by
WhereCis the chirpparameter. It is common to refer to the chirp as positive or negative depending on whether C is positive or negative. The numerical value of C can be calculated from the spectral width of the Gaussian pulse.
U(z,T)=(T0/(T02-i2z)1/2)exp(-T2/2(T02-i2z))(4)
A Gaussian pulse maintains its shape propagation. Its width T1 increases with z as on
(11)
T1(z)=T0[1+(z/LD)2]1/2
(5)
In the presence of linear chirp the spectral width is enhanced by a factor of (1+c2)1/2. Equation (11)can be used to estimate |c| from measurements ofand T0. To obtain the transmitted field,
Where LD is the dispersion length, which determines the extent of broadening. For a given fiber length, short pulses broaden more of a smaller dispersion length. At z = LD, a Gaussian pulse broadens by a factorof (2)1/2. The expression of U(z,T) can be written in the form
U(z,T)=|U(z,T)|exp*i(z,T)+ Where
(6)
U(z,T)=T0/[T02-i2z(1+ic)]1/2exp(-(1+ic)T2)/ 2[T02-i2z(1+ic)])(12)
Thereby, a chirped Gaussian pulse holds its Gaussian shape on propagation.The width T1(after propagating a distance z)is related to T0 (the initial width)by the relation,
(T1/T0)=*(1+c2z/T02)2+(2z/T02)2]1/2 (13)
This above expression implies that broadening depends on the relative signs of the Group Velocity Dispersion parameter 2 and the chirp parameter C. whereas for 2C>0 a Gaussian pulse broadens monotonically with z, and for 2 C<0 it goes through an initial narrowing stage. In the case 2 C<0, the pulse width becomes minimum at a distance,

We have considered the dispersion length LD=T02/ abs(2), normalized time T=(t- 2z)/T0.
Zmin=|c|LD/(1+c2)(14)
The minimum value of the pulse width at z=zmin can be expressed as, Table 1:Different values of input parameters Operating wavelength Pulse width T0 2 A super-Gaussian shape can be usedto model the effects steep leading and trailing edges on dispersioninduced pulse broadening. Fora super-Gaussian pulse, generalized equation is of the form Chirp factor c m Distances z Wheremcontrols the degree of edge sharpness. For m=1 the case of chirped Gaussian pulses can be recovered.

It can be observed from the Figure11 that for chirp parameter c>0 thebroadening factor increases linearly from the leading to the trailing edge. While for c<0, the broadening factor first decreases and then increases.Increasing rate of broadening factor is high for higher values of |c|.

For Gaussian pulse the effect of pulse broadening for different propagation distances are shown above. Figure.1 shows the pulse broadening at z=0km.It is seen that pulse broadening is very less as a result highest amplitude is observed.

Figure.12 shows the broadening factor of super Gaussian pulse as a function of propagation distance for different values of m. Here, m=1 corresponds to Gaussian pulse. The pulse edges become increasingly steeper for larger values of m.The magnitude of the pulse broadening depends on the sign of the product 2c.In particular even super Gaussian pulses exhibit initial narrowing when 2c<0. The 3D representation of a Gaussian pulse is shown below,

4. Conclusion
In this paper by using the appropriate parameter values, the effect of pulse broadening on Gaussian pulse propagation has been investigated. The Pulse broadening and pulse deformity have been observed during the propagation process. It is also observed that the pulse broadening becomes higher for longer distances are case of Gaussian pulse, i.e. the intensity of the pulse decreases. For chirped Gaussian pulses the analysis is performed for chirp parameter c=-3,-1,0,1,3.Among them the satisfactory results are obtained for positive chirp (c=0,c=1,c=3) and for negative chirp (c=-1,c=-
3).Again in case of super Gaussian pulses the pulse broadening is observed more for higher values of m.
