Calculation of the bit-error ratio in wavelength-division-multiplexed return-to-zero systems when the nonlinear penalty is dominated collision-induced timing jitter

We analyze the accuracy of a simple approach for calculating the BER in WDM-RZ systems, where the principal nonlinear impairment is collision-induced timing jitter. This approach produces BERs that are accurate to within one order of magnitude.
