The fast-paced evolution of long-haul and high-bit-rate
terrestrial and submarine optical transmission links requires powerful
analysis tools that take into account all the relevant phenomena in the
fiber. To provide such a tool, we developed a time-domain optical system
simulation package, integrated in the TOPSIM simulation environment. The
fiber simulation module makes use of the vector form of the propagation
equations to account for the quasi-degenerate two-mode (the two
polarizations) medium propagation characteristics. This way, all
polarization-related effects and their interplay with the other linear
and nonlinear phenomena in the fiber can be accurately modeled. In
particular, the fiber third-order susceptivity, responsible for all
major nonlinear effects, is expressed in its actual vector form, so that
nonlinear polarization mode coupling could be accounted for.
Conventional birefringence and PMD are generated using appropriate
random models. A novel feature of the simulator is that it uses
time-domain digital filters to simulate dispersion effects, as opposed
to the usual FFT-based algorithms. This approach leads to more efficient
computing for a wide range of bandwidth and dispersion values. We
present the fiber simulation module in detail. As an example of the use
of the simulation package, the analysis of a long-haul two-channel
transoceanic WDM transmission system is presented
