Ds. Govan et al., STABLE PROPAGATION OF SOLITONS WITH INCREASED ENERGY THROUGH THE COMBINED ACTION OF DISPERSION MANAGEMENT AND PERIODIC SATURABLE ABSORPTION, Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 14(11), 1997, pp. 2960-2966
It is shown, through numerical simulations, that by using a combinatio
n of dispersion management and periodic saturable absorption it is pos
sible to transmit solitonlike pulses with greatly increased energy nea
r to the zero net dispersion wavelength. This system is shown to suppo
rt the stable propagation of solitons over transoceanic distances for
a wide range of input powers. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
