Abstract
We investigate the evolution of Gaussian input conditions in fibre links wi th dispersion management. Gaussian pulses, which do not exactly match any s ystem eigenmode, suffer from both initial transient evolutions and asymptot ic slow oscillations. By means of chirped Hermite-Gauss bases, we analytica lly characterize and discuss these pulse dynamics in terms of interplay amo ng the different Hermite-Gauss modes.
