Abstract
Single-mode fibers with chromatic dispersion varying along the length (VD SMF) are a promising medium for nonlinear fiber optics. In a theoretical paper1 VD SMFs were proposed for communication lines to compensate for the soliton pulse broadening caused by the influence of optical losses. We were, we believe, the first to produce fibers of this kind and to use them for the adiabatic compression of femtosecond solitons2 and for the generation of 0.2-THz soliton trains.3 This paper examines optical properties of VD SMF.
