Abstract
We investigate collisions between solitons in a lossless two-channel w avelength-division multiplexed system with strong dispersion managemen t. Numerical results show that the net frequency shift that is due to interchannel collisions is at least 1 order of magnitude smaller than predicted by adiabatic theories. A modified theoretical analysis is pr esented and shown to be in good agreement with the numerical results. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
