RESUMO
As the transmission rates of fiber optic systems increase, effects arising from fiber nonlinearities need to be taken into account in analises and simulations. For high rate systems (10-20 Gbps per channel) with large spacings between amplifiers, high intensity optical pulses, capable of exciting the nonlinearities, are required so that adequate signal to noise ratios can be achieved at the receiver. The electrostrictive effect is among the known fiber nonlinearities. It is verified that soliton pulses in fibers are accompanied by pressure/density waves inside the core which last for time intervals well beyond the durations of the optical pulses that generated them. These shock acoustic waves, stemming from mechanical striction, change electromagnetic properties of the material. The refractive index is perturbed, affecting propagation speeds of the following pulses in a soliton transmission. As the time shifts suffered by successive pulses will depend on the most recent1ytransmitted bit patterns, timing jitter is created. In this thesis the use of short balanced block codes is proposed in order to minimize the variance of these time shifts. Numerical results for the jitter when using/not using such codes are included
