On the dispersion managed soliton

Abstract

We review various methods used to study the dispersion managed soliton for nonlinear return-to-zero pulse propagation in optical fibers. A numerical averaging method, the guiding center soliton, the variational method both with a simple and with an extended ansatz, as well as the multiscale theory are discussed and numerically compared, allowing us to show their domains of applicability. Their relative merits and demerits are then exposed. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.

Higher Order Gabitov–Turitsyn Equation for Dispersion-Managed Solitons in Birefringent Fibers

“…The propagation of solitons through optical fibers has been a major area of research given its potential applicability in all optical communication systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The field of telecommunications has undergone a substantial evolution in the last couple of decades due to the impressive progress in the development of optical fibers, optical amplifiers as well as transmitters and receivers.…”

“…When the data rate is quite high, soliton transmission can be used. It allows the exploitation of the fiber capacity much more, but the NRZ signals offer very high potential especially in terms of simplicity [9].…”

Bi‐soliton pulse in a dispersion‐managed optical transmission system and its application

“…However, these papers merely point out the existence of the bi-solitons under special conditions. In this paper, a steady pulse with two main lobes, or bi-soliton, obtained by the averaging method [13,14] is reported for the first time. In addition, it is shown that this bi-soliton exists in a relatively wide parameter region.…”
