Timing jitter due to intra-channel nonlinearities in an installed fiber optic network

We report field measurements of intra-channel nonlinearity-induced timing jitter in an installed fiber transmission system. The timing jitter is strongly dependent on the distribution of dispersion compensation, in agreement with numerical simulation results.
