Abstract
We investigate the dynamics and interactions of bright solitary waves in an optical fiber with fourth order dispersion. It is shown that rad iationless oscillatory tails of a single soliton create a potential ba rrier between neighbouring solitons and prevent them from interacting strongly. The case of strong interaction, where solitons exchange thei r energies is also considered. It is also shown that solitons with osc illating tails exist in communication lines with lumped amplifiers and lumped fourth-order dispersive elements.
