Abstract
This letter presents a detailed investigation of how solitons broaden in the presence of polarization-mode dispersion, For a given amount of polarization-made dispersion and pulsewidth there exists an optimal c hoice of group-velocity dispersion, for which solitons are most resist ant to the effect of polarization-mode dispersion, We also optimize th e soliton power enhancement factor and find that solitons can propagat e roughly twice the distance compared to linear pulses in the absence of group-velocity dispersion.
