In this paper, analytical relation for pulse width evolution and broadening in fiber systems using the Volterra series transfer function (VSTF) in linear and nonlinear cases are derived. This evaluation is done for traditional and optimum dispersion compensated fibers. Effects of group velocity dispersion (GVD) and self-phase modulation (SPM) are taken into account. It is shown that the analytical formulation can be applied to design and analysis the long hauls practical systems, and is helpful in understanding the pulse distortion caused by the interaction between SPM and GVD. The proposed relations are extracted analytically and for the first time pulse broadening factor in general case is derived.
