Abstract
Novel exact solutions suggest the possibility of clean and efficient n onlinear compression of chirped solitary waves with appropriate tailor ing of the gain or dispersion as a function of distance and with optio nal phase modulation. A numerical simulation with 20-fold compression is reported. Numerical tests reveal the robustness of the technique to perturbations of the initial condition or to the tailored gain/disper sion.
