Abstract
We theoretically analyze nonlinear interactions between chirped solito ns in dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) system s. We employ the perturbation method to evaluate frequency and chirp s hifts caused by collisions among different WDM channels. It is shown t hat a chirped soliton suffers less frequency shift and time displaceme nt than an ideal soliton, indicating its potential applicability for W DM systems.
