Periodic breathing of pulse width owing to strong dispersion management leads to significant overlap between adjacent pulses in long-distance fiber-optic transmissions. A striking result is that beyond a critical degree of overlap the interaction forces are no longer increased and are even reduced as the overlap is enhanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
