Abstract
Soliton propagation in a cascaded dispersion-managed optical amplifier
system with zero net dispersion is examined. We present a qualitative physical
explanation for the recently discovered fact that a soliton with finite energy
can propagate down a fiber line with zero or normal average dispersion. We
describe a specific practical system for the main properties of such a soliton,
namely, the dependence of the soliton power on the pulse width at chirp-free
points and the soliton average energy and width at chirp-free points as functions
of the dispersion-allocation (strength of the map) parameter.
