Quasi-soliton propagation in dispersion-managed optical fibers

Opt Lett. 1997 Mar 15;22(6):372-4. doi: 10.1364/ol.22.000372.

Abstract

Combination of programmed chirp and dispersion profiles produced a solitonlike nonlinear pulse with a stationary structure (quasi-soliton). The quasi-soliton has more attractive properties than those of a soliton because of its reduced interaction and smaller peak power than a soliton and allows ~100-Gbit / s transmission over a 125-dispersion distance with reasonable power.
