Abstract
We propose the use of a power pulse shape of the widely known optical
soliton, corresponding to the hyperbolic secant square function, for both
conventional atmospheric optical communication systems and, especially, for new
full-optical wireless communications. We analyze the performance of the proposed
pulse in terms of peak-to-average optical power ratio (PAOPR) and bit error rate
(BER). During the analysis, we compare the proposed pulse shape against conventional
rectangular and Gaussian pulse shapes with reduced duty cycle. Results show the
noticeable superiority of the proposed pulse for atmospheric optical links.
