Dispersion-Managed Soliton Systems

Abstract

Dispersion-managed solitons arise from the nonlinear propagation of pulses along a periodic dispersion map with alternating signs of dispersion. The path-averaged dispersion is anomalous to balance the optical nonlinearity, as is the case for standard solitons. However, when the local dispersion within the map significantly broadens the pulse, the dispersion-managed soliton (DMS) has characteristics that differ from a standard soliton. In single channel experiments, these characteristics have permitted error-free transmission at 10 Gbit/s × 24,500 km [1], 20 Gbit/s × 14,000 km [2], and 40 Gbit/s × 5,000 km [3] without the use of active retiming or sliding frequency filter techniques.
