Summary:The standard Split-Step algorithm for calculating the signal transmission through optical fibres is significantly accelerated without relevant loss of accuracy by applying IIR filters as well as Fourier transformations for the linear operator. Depending on the system topology, high speed-up factors can be achieved by switching back and forth between time and frequency domain algorithms for the linear operator. Two different IIR filters are applied for calculating linear and parabolic dispersion. The efficiency of this algorithm in combination with an innovative step-size allocation method is evaluated.
