Abstract
It has recently been pointed out that midpoint optical phase conjugation (OPC) can compensate for self-phase modulation in addition to linear dispersion in periodically amplified systems.1 Here we apply the concept to soliton communication system. The principle is that conjugation is equivalent to "time" reversal in Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation Systems. In periodically amplified systems soliton concepts apply within the average soliton limit.2,3 Thus a midpoint conjugation will lead to a complete reversal of soliton effects provided the average soliton limit is obeyed.
