Abstract
An analysis is made of the properties of a novel type of optical pulse that may propagate stably at normal dispersion in optical fibers. The stability is achieved by permitting two oppositely phased solitons co propagate with the pulse. Because the pulse may be described by the or dinary Schrodinger equation, well-known results can be used for obtain ing detailed information about, for example, the pulse shape. In parti cular, the possibility of observing stable excited pulse states is dem onstrated.
