Abstract
We present what is believed to be the first experimental evidence showing t he breakup of a chirped N-soliton pulse into an ordered train of fundamenta l solitons, as predicted by theory. We also present numerical experiments t hat confirm this phenomenon. Implications for optical communications system s that use chirped pulses are discussed. (C) 1999 Optical Society of Americ a.
