Dispersion management with filtering

• With regards to their potential to improving the pulse-based regimes in optical communication networks, dispersion-managed solitons in a fiber link including guiding filters and compensating gain were investigated. Combining the variational approximation and the perturbative treatment of the filtering and gain, stationary regimes are predicted. Among other features, the minimum map strength necessary for the existence of the pulses when path-averaged dispersion (PAD) is zero or normal is absent, rather, a minimum necessary normalized power for any PAD exists.
