Adiabatic soliton transmission in fibers with lumped amplifiers: Analysis

摘要

By proper dispersion management an ideal adiabatic transmission of optical solitons is possible in fibers with loss compensated by periodic lumped amplifiers. For a practical design with stepwise dispersion, nonsoliton (radiation) components are estimated by the perturbed inverse-scattering method. Finally, radiation that is due to soliton-soliton collision in a wavelength-division-multiplexed system is also analyzed. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
